Authorities in Virginia have identified a suspect in the 1996 murders of two women in Shenandoah National Park. Nearly three decades after the brutal killings, the FBI Richmond announced that a convicted serial rapist from Ohio, who died in prison in 2018, is believed to be responsible. The victims, Julianne Williams and Laura Winans, were found bound and gagged at a campsite near Skyline Drive and Skyland Lodge. New DNA testing played a crucial role in identifying the suspect, bringing closure to a case that had remained unsolved for 28 years.
