The Virginia State Police and the F.B.I. are calling Alan Wade Wilmer Senior a Serial Killer.  After his death Alan Wade Wilmer sr. was linked to three murders. Two of those murders are part of a series known as The Colonial Parkway Murders.  Alan Wade Wilmer sr. killed David Knobling and Robin Edwards in Isle of Wight in 1987, and he is also responsible for the murder of Teresa Howell in Hampton, Virginia.  This week in the Garage, Nic and the Captain discuss how police linked Alan Wilmer to these murders, where the other Parkway cases stand, and what other murders should be considered when looking at Alan Wade Wilmer Sr.  If you have any information regarding Alan Wade Wilmer Senior’s life, vehicles, boat, and/or living situations please tell the authorities with an email to the following - questions@vsp.virginia.gov or visit www.tips.fbi.gov

The Collector & the Fugitive /// Part 2 /// 755 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
Leonard Lake and Charles Ng silently terrorized and collected victims in the greater San Fransisco area for about two years.  Leonard Lake was a criminal in every way, committing every type of criminal offense that one could think of.  He was obsessed with the book “The Collector" by John Fowles.  When Lake met Charles Ng, Charles was a fugitive on the run from the U.S. Government.  To this day we still do not know how many people fell prey to this California Killer duo.

Kyle Byrtus ////// 753 

Part 1 of 1 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
On August 15th, 2013 a body was discovered by an electrical worker in a developing area called Lehigh Acres.  Later it was learned that this was the body of 25 year old Kyle Byrtus.  The victim had been tied and killed.  The Lee County Sheriff’s Office just caught another homicide case.  Kyle’s case remains unsolved to this day.  The case appears to not have gone “cold” as detectives are still chasing a few leads.  There was a lot of criminal activity in this area at the time.  Some of this activity has provided information about Kyle’s case.  SWFL Crime Stoppers are on the case.  They are available 24/7 and there is a reward for information that leads to an arrest, the recovery or weapons, narcotics, stolen property or the capture of a wanted fugitive.  Crime Stoppers keeps you anonymous.  If you have helpful information about the murder of Kyle Byrtus or any Southwest Florida crime please call 800- 780- TIPS

This week we are sharing a case that rocked Britain.  It was a daytime murder of a major U.K. celebrity.  On April 26th, 1999 someone shot and killed TV presenter Jill Dando on the stoop of her home in London.  Jill was beloved by millions.  Her girl next door looks, Princess Di hair cut, and her charm took her to the heights of British broadcasting.  So who would want to harm the woman that so many adored?  That is the mystery that has riddled the Kensington police for over two decades now.
