@kemo Regarding DNA testing in cold cases - is this more successful in bringing a solution when the killer is a stranger to the victim? What happens if a killer is known to a victim and can excuse their DNA being found at a crime scene?

If Sophie’s killer was known to her then any DNA found by the MVac could be explained. I realise it would be difficult to explain blood(though not impossible),though touch DNA could be easily explained away. Just wondered if anyone else had thought about this?

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...
