It's very exciting stuff and confusing at the same time.

Yeah.

So a week ago, the call and Haley families.

So this is the, um, loved ones of, um, Keith call who went by his middle name and Cassandra Sandy Haley who were on a first date in April 1988 those families were asked to attend a meeting with the special agent in charge and her team at the office where the Norfolk field office is located.

So they met this past Friday for about an hour and a half.

And the call and Haley families were informed that based on the expression was very unusual from our point of view, the totality of circumstantial evidence was the fbi was announcing that alan wade wilmer senior this suspect we've talked about is also responsible for the disappearance and presumed homicide their bodies have still never been found it's been 38 years since 1988 but they are, based on the circumstantial evidence, they are announcing that this case is also the responsibility of the same offender, Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. Yeah,

And it appears that one of the ritual aspects that this guy, engaged in was this violent sexual activity and the type of porn that he collected would be the type of would depict the kind of things that he fantasized about and It's very likely under the circumstances that those were the things that he was doing when he accosted, abducted and killed these victims.

There were a few areas where the FBI really struck gold in that when this technician spotted the truck that Wilmer was driving on the highway.

Lane.

So they've been around for a long time.

They were state roads before anything.

So they are the responsibility of state.

And then the last piece is pretty much everything else, which really is the local government.

So at RTC, what our role is, is we are the managers, if you will, of the local road system But we're not actually owners of anything.

So we basically handle the money.

Briefly walk me through why you guys felt that maybe an enhanced registration fee might be the route to go.

think you're best suited to do this part.

Okay.

So a couple of months before the announcement was made public, we had heard from sources inside the investigation that the Virginia State Police, who handle two of the double homicides in the Colonial Parkway murders— together with the FBI, but the FBI appeared to be taking a secondary role.

They handle two other double homicides in the Colonial Parkway murders.

So we're talking about eight young people so far, and there's more being added as we speak.

We got the advance word that they were looking at two men, one deceased, one still alive at that time, who were watermen who lived up in Lancaster County, Virginia, which is about an hour and a half north of the area we associate with the Colonial Parkway murders, which is closer to Williamsburg.

Now, as soon as they started telling us what they knew about these two potential suspects, my alarm bells started going off because as soon as they said two watermen from Lancaster County, Virginia, I said, wait a minute.

I think that's a great idea.
