Guests: James Renner, author and host of Philosophy of Crime Nic Edwards of True Crime Garage Original Air Date: 10/12/18 In this episode of Who Killed...?, Nic from True Crime Garage and author James Renner joined the show to discuss the ongoing efforts to solve the case of Amy Mihaljevic's abduction and murder. We highlight the continuous scientific advancements utilized to bring closure to other cold cases, emphasizing that it has never been considered a cold case. Both Harold Bound and William Strunak were individuals who drew suspicion in the Amy Mihaljevic case. While Bound's involvement was linked to his living situation and proximity to the stables where Amy frequented, Strunak's connection stemmed from his volunteer work and alleged inappropriate behavior. Strunek's status as a favorite suspect of FBI profiler Robert Ressler added weight to the investigation's focus on him. The contrasting backgrounds and circumstances of Bound and Strunek highlight the diverse range of individuals considered in the search for Amy's killer. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Who Killed...?, I dive into the mysterious case of the Robison family, also known as the Good Hart murders, in Northern Michigan. Join me as we explore the idyllic setting of northern Michigan and invite listeners to draw their own conclusions on who may have been responsible for this tragic event. The prime suspect in the Robison family murders, Joe Scolaro, was a former business partner of Richard Robison. Scolaro's suspicious behavior, financial motives, and connections to the crime scene made him a compelling suspect. Despite failing polygraph tests and having incriminating evidence against him, Scolaro was never officially charged. His mysterious suicide added another layer of complexity to the case. "So who would want to murder a family? Was it a crime of opportunity? That was a theory, but again, since this house was so secluded, that almost throws that theory right out the window. How could someone bludgeon a child to death, let alone after they had already killed most everyone else with a gun? So what was the significance of this overkill?"

BREAKING NEWS: 🚨 The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Richmond Field Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia announced a suspect has been identified in the murders of two women in the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, in May 1996.   Laura “Lollie” Winans and Julianne “Julie” Williams were murdered at their campsite near the Skyland Resort on May 24, 1996. Family members called the National Park Service after the women did not return home as planned. Their bodies were found on June 1, 1996, after an extensive search by rangers with the National Park Service.  Recently, the private lab successfully pulled DNA from several items of evidence and, with assistance from the Virginia State Police, the profile was submitted to the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). There was a positive match to Walter Leo Jackson Senior (born November 2, 1947). Jackson was a convicted serial rapist, originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area. - FBI.gov I was lucky to have author Kathryn Miles on the show two years ago. She has written a tremendous new true crime book, Trailed: One Woman's Quest to Solve the Shenandoah Murders. We have a wide-ranging conversation about law enforcement, the keys to this case, and where things stand now. If you enjoy a well-researched guest, then this is a must-listen. In May 1996, two skilled backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, entered Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park for a week-long backcountry camping trip. The free-spirited and remarkable young couple had met and fallen in love the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. During their final days in the park, they descended the narrow remnants of a trail and pitched their tent in a hidden spot. After the pair didn’t return home as planned, park rangers found a scene of horror at their campsite: their tent slashed open, their beloved dog missing, and both women dead in their sleeping bags. The unsolved murders of Winans and Williams continue to haunt all who had encountered them or knew their story. - Workman Publishing The Strothman Literary Agency represents Kathryn Miles Follow her: FBI.gov Twitter: Kathryn_Miles Facebook: TrailedTheBook Instagram: Kathryn_miles1 Sources: https://www.kathrynmiles.net https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/books-media/shenandoah-murders-trailed-kathryn-miles-queer-women-outdoors/ https://www.strothmanagency.com/trailed-one-womans-quest-to-solve-the-shenandoah-murders/ Purchase Trailed Learn more about your ad choices.
