Next Week - Episode #2 , The Colonial Parkway Murders - The Investigation & Conclusion

 

... 30+ years , eight deaths = NO ANSWERS 

 

Season Premier highlights a 30 year cold case , and to this day loved ones have no remains to lay their loved ones to rest ... leaving many of the victims families worse for ware as the years continue to pass by -

 

Cathleen Thomas and Rebecca Ann Dowski. David Knobling and Robin Edwards. Cassandra Lee Hailey and Richard Keith Call. Annamaria Phelps and Daniel Lauer. These are the names of the four couples who were brutally murdered along the Colonial Parkway between Jamestown and Yorktown, Virginia from 1986 to 1989. 

To date, their deaths remain a mystery that has confounded their families, state police, and the FBI for last 28 years.

 

Behavioral & Psychological Profile of the perpetrator responsible... 

 

Spingola proposed that the murders are the work of different killers, especially the slayings of Cathleen Thomas and Rebecca Dowski. The former homicide detective believes the Thomas-Dowski crimes are directly linked to the deaths of Lollie Winans and Julie Williams who were found with their throats slashed in the Shenandoah National Park, 180 miles west of the Colonial Parkway, in 1996.

After Spingola's team of investigative journalists (known as the Spingola Files (SF), after their Web site's online moniker)[6] visited Yorktown, Virginia, a family member of one of the victims searched the belongings of her deceased relative. A note was discovered that may identify a possible person of interest in one of the couple-homicides.[7] While the Virginia State Police claim the information in this note was previously examined, one of the lead investigators at the time of 1989 murders told a television reporter from WAVY that he could not recall such a note.

 

*** many have harshly criticized this profile  thinking it was one of the investigatory tools driving the focus of the investigation, and with the profile being very general in theory , likely steered the investigation in a direction that had no basis, resulting the chances to catch up to the offender , highly unlikely ***
