Serial Killer Boat Captain, the Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. aka Pokey Case | Profiling Evil

A serial killer patrolled the waterways of coastal Virginia for over a decade, killing at least four people, and new DNA evidence has tied the cases together. Investigators say a commercial fisherman named Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. (Pokey) is the serial killer who murdered 20-year-old David Knobling, Robin Edwards who was just 14-years old, 18-year-old Lori Ann Powell and 18-year-old Teresa Lynn Spaw Howell. They were all found in or near the waterways that Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. treated as his second home. Two were shot along the shoreline at Ragged Island Wildlife Refuge, another stabbed and dumped in the Elizabeth River near Craney Island and a young woman abducted from a Hampton nightclub. She was strangled and left alongside a roadway near a marina. Let’s examine what these victims had in common and how Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. exploited his hunting grounds. Will new DNA testing reveal more victims of Alan Wade Wilmer Sr.?
