"Deceased Fisher Named Suspect in 1980s Cold-Case Murders"

Virginia police have identified deceased fisherman Alan Wilmer Sr as a suspect in three cold-case murders from the 1980s, including two linked to the Colonial Parkway murders. Wilmer's DNA was legally obtained after his death, and he would have been charged if alive. The victims were sexually assaulted, and investigators are actively pursuing leads on the other killings. Wilmer was also named as the suspect in the 1989 killing of Teresa Lynn Spaw Howell. Families of the victims expressed relief and gratitude, and authorities are seeking information from anyone who knew Wilmer.
