A Texas auto dealer executive is accused of paying more than $750,000 to two ex-Marines and a purported former Israeli soldier to kidnap and kill his former mistress and her boyfriend, federal prosecutors said Monday. Holly Williams, 33, and William Lanway, 36, were killed in Nashville, Tennessee on March 12, 2020.
A federal indictment unsealed Monday charges four people with multiple charges including kidnapping resulting in death — Erik Charles Maund, 46, of Austin, a partner in Maund Automotive Group; Gilad Peled, 47, of Austin; Bryon Brockway, 46, of Austin; and Adam Carey, 30, of Richlands, North Carolina.
According to court documents, Peled claims he is a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces and was the owner of Speartip Security in Austin. Brockway and Carey were both identified as former active duty U.S. Marines.
