Charles Frederick Albright (August 10, 1933 – August 22, 2020) was an American murderer and suspected serial killer who was convicted of murdering Shirley Williams, a sex worker whose body was found on a road in Dallas, Texas, in March 1991. Her body had been found with the eyes removed, leading to the media dubbing Albright the Eyeball Killer. Albright was also charged with the murders of three other women (Rhonda Bowie, Mary Lou Pratt and Susan Peterson) whose bodies were found in the Dallas area between 1988 and 1991. Charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence, although he is still considered the prime suspect. Albright was incarcerated in the John Montford Psychiatric Unit in Lubbock, Texas, until his death in 2020.[2]
