Corrections Officer Pleads Guilty to Double Murder, Kidnapping

A former corrections officer pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges connected to the killing of her ex-girlfriend and uncle in June, 2010.

Kim Wolfe, 44, of Baldwin, pleaded guilty to the "entire indictment against her," according to a release from the Nassau County District Attorney's office. The charges included two counts of second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Police accounts of the incident say that Wolfe had been trying to reconcile with her ex-girlfriend, Stacie Williams, 45, a nurse's aide who worked in the maternity ward at in East Meadow when the two argued and Wolfe reportedly shot Williams several times in the chest, killing her.

Then, according to police, Wolfe sped to a nearby relatives' home in South Hempstead where she fatally shot her 56-year-old uncle, Marshall Williams, Jr.; wounded her 88-year-old grandfather, Marshall Williams and then kidnapped her niece as she drove her SUV bound for Atlantic City, NJ. Both Williams men were unrelated to Wolfe's ex-girlfriend, Stacie Williams.

Wolfe eventually surrendered to police later that morning with the assistance of a Hempstead Police Officer who had training as a hostage negotiator. Wolfe's niece was returned unharmed.

"“Kim Wolfe’s violent rampage took the lives of two innocent people, and will forever impact the lives of so many others,” District Attorney Kathleen Rice said. “I will do whatever is in my power to ensure that this defendant remains locked in prison for the rest of her life.”

The court promised Wolfe a sentence of 22 years to life in prison, although the District Attorney’s office recommended a sentence of 50 years to life. Wolfe will be formally sentenced on Nov. 2.
