"Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley are joined by Robert Grey, longtime listener to the podcast who attended both Virginia Tech and William and Mary. We review his impressions of the August 2009 murders of Virginia Tech students Heidi Childs and David Metzler, as well as the Colonial Parkway Murders, and their impact on the college community. Can advanced DNA techniques solve the tragic case of two undergrads found shot to death in a place called Caldwell Fields?  How has the Virginia Tech community been touched so many times by senseless violence? Where does the Childs/Metzler investigation go from here after 15 years?  Do people remember the Colonial Parkway Murders? How do these unsolved cases move into urban legend status?
