Ultimately, both Steven and Opal decided to try an open relationship that would allow Steven to be with Lisa and Opal to be with Ricky. Steven, thus, gave her shelter in his home, and the two began getting comfortable. While she was gone, Opal’s ex-husband’s wife, Lisa, called Steven and asked him for help as she was facing domestic abuse.

This did not sit well with Steven, but he ultimately caved and let her go. Although they were happy initially, the show portrayed how Opal soon grew bored and wanted to learn trucking with her ex-boyfriend, Rickey King. Through their investigation, the police found out that Steven Williams and Opal had an extremely rocky relationship. An autopsy later confirmed that Steven Williams died of a stab wound to the chest. Inside, they found Steven’s body with a stab wound and several lacerations on his throat and neck.

However, upon returning to the site, they found blood at the same place where the vehicle was parked they were soon led to a rolled up and bound carpet abandoned along the riverbank. Ultimately, the police noticed the van in question was abandoned at White River and recovered it. They left no stones unturned in their efforts, but still, Steven was nowhere to be found. For three days following the missing person report, authorities formed searched parties and combed the nearby area for the missing man but to no avail. She further claimed that he was last seen in the family’s van at a nearby Wendy’s, where he had driven to following an argument. Steven was reported missing on March 14, 2015, although Opal mentioned that he had been missing since March 11. Steven’s life seemed quite perfect to the outside world thus, people were shocked when he turned up dead all of a sudden. Considered a generous person who was always ready to open his home to anyone in need, Steven had quite a high standing in society. Moreover, Opal’s ex-husband’s wife, Lisa, and her (Opal’s) cousin, Charles Lehman Jr., also lived with the couple in their home. Steven Williams lived in Marion, Iowa, with his wife Opal Skidmore, along with her children from a previous marriage and his children from an earlier relationship.
