It said that Jackson used temporary tags, one thing that jumped out at me - I remember one of the Route 29 witnesses saying the vehicle had 3O day tags. Jackson also frequently changed vehicles. In saying that, with the amount of stops in the first two/three months of 1996 I still think the...

Just a theory but I’ve wondered if she was actually out that night doing something else and was seen. She invented the affair scenario because the truth was more incriminating. Is it possible the Gardaí knew and used her to their advantage?

Does it say Bay Auto Wholesale?

Picture of Rice’s light blue truck - you’re right a Chevy.Witnesses refer to Alicia getting in to a dark coloured pickup - it seems to range in variation from black to dark green.

A. Wilmer was quite distinctive looking at 5ft5 and stocky. All witnesses describe the man seen talking to Alicia as 5ft 10/11. A. Wilmer’s truck and vanity plate were also very memorable, had they been at the scene I think witnesses would have recalled the vanity plate.

Yes I have read it and would recommend it. It’s the most comprehensive book on the colonial parkway murders (there is also a short pamphlet style book by Investigator Steve Spingola but it is much less in depth). A Special Kind of Evil is full of information I have never read anywhere else.

He matched the description of a Peeping Tom on the parkway who had approached a couple in car.

Investigators came out in 1990 to say they thought a couple of people may have been working together and thought the main perpetrator may have had a hold over the other. The Baltimore Sun, 6th August 1990 “Working with the FBI's National Center, for the Analysis of Violent Crimes, they have put...

I’ve been wondering about that too but there have been convictions without bodies before. According to Blaine Pardoe in A Special Kind of Evil there was a waterman investigated after Keith and Sandra’s disappearance . The waterman had a pickup with a very distinctive vanity plate and lived with...

I would love to know which composites align with which stops too. The differing composites have always flummoxed me, either there was more than one person flagging down women or it was one person whose appearance changed over time. Bottom left composite appeared on the official Missing Person...

I don’t know when the bottom right composite was drawn up. The composites were featured in Pamela Gould’s extensive 24 page report on Evonitz in The Free Lance Star, November, 2007.

This is picture of Evonitz from when he arrested in 1987 and one of the Route 29 stalker composites.

Although there were a number of descriptions of the vehicle driven by the man who abducted Alicia none of them matched Darrell D Rice’s blue Ford pickup. The assault and attempted abduction that Rice was imprisoned for was chaotic and unsuccessful, whoever abducted Alicia seemed a lot more...

Yes that’s right he was one of the four who were also working in Shenandoah in 1996.

There were 4 law enforcement rangers who worked the 1986 Colonial Parkway Case who transferred to Shenandoah and were working there in 1996. In the last year FBI Richmond has taken a fresh look at Julie and Lollie’s Case. I heard Kate Mike say in a podcast several months ago that in Summer 2022...

Yea I agree hopefully DNA will crack this. I can’t imagine how hard this must be for her family.

Re the cops, incompetence or corruption masquerading as incompetence? Something else I’ve thought of is someone hiding something in the pump house and being disturbed when they went to collect it.

I always say to myself most murders come down to money, land or sex. In this one I just don’t know. I’d rule out money so that leaves sex or land/property. It’s amazing how many people are killed over land/property disputes here in Ireland though. It wouldn’t surprise me if more than one person...

Surely it would be a risk to go back if he/she thought someone might be in there. I have read that her neighbour Alfie’s first instinct after his partner found the body was to go up to the house to warn Sophie - is this a fact does anyone know?

Was reading through the very earliest press reports after the murder and noted that several said there was a trail of droplets of blood leading from the house to the gate and therefore the attack must have started at the house. Given the blood on the door it’s possible the blood came from the...
