June 17, 2022Colonial Parkway Murders: Pt 2
Some important facts to know about the Colonial Parkway if you have never had the pleasure of driving it yourself or experiencing it on a class trip.
According to the National Park Service https://www.nps.gov/colo/parkway.htm
The Colonial Parkway is a twenty-three mile scenic roadway stretching from the York River at Yorktown to the James River at Jamestown.
The road does it best to remind drivers of days past as the parkway does not allow semi trucks and is toll-free.
As you meander though the parkway you are graced with beautiful views of the James and York rivers that run along the parkway.
According to Triple A "redbuds and dogwoods decorate the roadway in spring, while fall brings an explosion of autumn colors”
From an article in the Daily Press in 1990, the parkway is no place to be after dark ”At night, the mood changes. The trees form a tunnel of blackness, broken only if the moon is shining. There are no streetlights, no call boxes and no fast-food restaurants or convenience stores where a driver might find refuge in case of a breakdown”.
The parkway is under the rangers' jurisdiction because it is federal land owned by the National Park Service
When a serious crime is committed, the York County Sheriff's Department, the Williamsburg or James City police departments are called to assist, Neprash said.
The parkway is federal land, the FBI may also become involved in investigations.
Crimemuseum.org says, "police have questioned 150 suspects in connection to these four cases, but all have been cleared.
The police attribute these eight murders to the same killer because of similarities in each case.
All of the victims were killed at or near their car, the first three being found at known lover’s lane areas.
None of the victims were robbed, and sexual assault did not appear to be a motive in any of the cases.
The first and third murders were mere miles apart, and the second and fourth were committed about a half hour away from the Parkway.
In 2018, the Facebook page Colonial Parkway Murders, which is run by Cathy’s brother Bill Thomas, and today's guest revealed that DNA had been found at 3 of the 4 crime scenes which could potentially conclusively link the cases and lead to an arrest. Hair that had been found in Cathy’s hand and a biological sample found on Robin have never been tested
The First couple to fall victim Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski
Cathleen Thomas, 27, Class of 1981 graduate United States Naval Academy and College of William & Mary senior Rebecca Ann Dowski, 21. On October 12, 1986, Columbus Day weekend, their bodies were found inside Thomas' white 1980 Honda Civic at the Cheatham Annex Overlook

June 03, 2022 Interview w/ Author Kathryn Miles of Trailed
This week, I was lucky to have author Kathryn Miles on the show. She has written a great new true crime book; Trailed: One Woman's Quest to Solve the Shenandoah Murders.
We have a wide ranging conversation about law enforcement, the keys to this case, and where do thing stands now? If you enjoy a guest who is well researched then this is a must listen.
In May 1996, two skilled backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, entered Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park for a week-long backcountry camping trip. The free-spirited and remarkable young couple had met and fallen in love the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. During their final days in the park, they descended the narrow remnants of a trail and pitched their tent in a hidden spot.
After the pair didn’t return home as planned, park rangers found a scene of horror at their campsite, their tent slashed open, their beloved dog missing, and both women dead in their sleeping bags. The unsolved murders of Winans and Williams continue to haunt all who had encountered them or knew their story. - Workman Publishing
Kathryn Miles is represented by the Strothman Literary Agency.

May 27, 2022 Bombings on US Soil
I hope everyone is doing well this week after yet another school shooting killed 19 kids.
I’m not going to get into specifics but I do think it is important to acknowledge the loss that has taken place. This comes 10 days after 10 people were killed in a mass shooting in Buffalo. This isn’t good, and it appears we are all too comfortable with seeing this crap on the news.
Just to give you some perspective this was the 27th school shooting so far this year...
To keep things as light as possible, this week we will focus on a few bombings on US soil and their impacts.

May 06, 2022 Madeleine McCann & Girl Scout Murder Updates
This week there were two major updates in the world of true crime. First, the Portugal police are now saying they have enough evidence to conclude their suspect, Christian Bruckner, is guilty of Madeleine's abduction & murder. This is the largest missing persons case in world history so this is monumental news. Thank you to the BBC, Great Morning Britain and The Sun for helping with my research. Kudos to Ranker writer Cat McAuliffe for the insight into the 1977 Camp Scott Girl Scout Murders. Also thank you to News on 6 KOTV.

April 29, 2022 Flashback, Amy Mihaljevic
On October 27, 1989, 10 year-old Amy Mihaljevic, a fifth grader from Bay Village Middle School, was abducted from here all american town.
Bay Village is a suburb about 10 miles west of Cleveland. Bay Village is nestled on the lakefront of Lake Erie and has a median income of just over $100,000 and houses sell on average for close to $200,000- $3,000,000. Bay Village is a quiet community that loves to participate in city activities such as soccer, the annual Bay Day Run and of course the Bay Day’s traveling carnival that makes Cahoon Park its home for three days over every Fourth of July.
To put it simply it is a great place to live because it is true community, one that looks out for other neighbors’ kids and where you will see people out walking and running almost everywhere you look. That is why this case could be considered one of the most audacious crimes I have ever come across; how did this tight knit community become the center of one of true crimes greatest mysteries, who killed Amy Mihaljevic?

April 15, 2022 Long Island Serial Killer w/ Maggie Freleng Part 2
Former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, who previously led the investigation on the case, had cut ties with the federal investigators during the serial killer probe. Burke, who has been accused of mishandling the case, later served a 46-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to beating up a handcuffed suspect who had stolen a gym bag from his SUV in a separate case.
"The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office has a dedicated Human Trafficking Unit, which has been operating inside the jail for the last three and a half years," Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, Jr., stated on Tuesday. "This unit has obtained valuable information and leads that we hope to share with our partner agencies to help solve this case and bring justice to these victims."
Harrison, who was just confirmed as the new police commissioner for Suffolk County in December, announced on New Year’s Eve that the department is in “a great place to solve” the case, citing new leads. He stated at a press conference that he is “making a commitment to the residents of Suffolk County as well as the family members.” - Oxygen
