In June of 1996 two women, Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, were found brutally murdered in Shenandoah National Park. Their murderer (or murderers) were never found and the case has remained unsolved, until now.



On June 20, 2024 the FBI announced that the assailant has been identified as Walter Leo Jackson Sr. Today we sit down for the second time, with Kathryn Miles, author and investigative journalist who has dedicated years of her life researching this case and uncovering faults in the investigation. While the FBI has closed the case, she unveils in this interview that there are a lot more questions that need to be answered, including the possibility of more victims. This case might be labeled as closed, but in reality, this new information has just opened up a whole new investigation.



If you have any information concerning this case, please contact the FBI’s Toll-Free tip line at



1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). You may also contact your local FBI office, the nearest



American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip online at  Electronic Tip Form | FBI
