378: The Colonial Parkway Murders: A Scenic Road, a Hidden Killer

Between 1986 and 1989, a series of couples were murdered or vanished along Virginia's Colonial Parkway — a scenic stretch that became a deadly hunting ground.

In this episode, we break down each victim's story, the bizarre crime scenes, and the long-awaited DNA discovery that finally pointed to a killer. But with no conviction, will these cases ever be truly solved?

Who was Alan Wade Wilmer, and why can't his DNA be officially linked to the rest of the murders? Join us as we dive into one of the most haunting unsolved case clusters in U.S. history.
