A deceased fisherman, Alan Wade Wilmer Sr., has been identified as the suspect in three cold-case homicides in Virginia from the 1980s, including two of the notorious "Colonial Parkway Murders." Forensic evidence linked Wilmer to the 1987 double murder of David L. Knobling and Robin M. Edwards, and the 1989 murder of Teresa Lynn Spaw Howell. Authorities are now seeking information to determine if Wilmer is connected to more cases, including other Colonial Parkway Murders.
