A witness comes forward after 30 years, convinced he knows who murdered Kelly Wilson in Gilmer, Texas. Become a supporter of this podcast…
John DoddGuestMost of the people who have reached out to me about Kelly are, you know, regular folks.
And I take it all seriously, but I also take it all with a grain of salt because, you know, that's the job.
He's a federal police chief, and he spent his entire career working major crimes, homicides, all the serious stuff.
And one of the reasons why in the past I haven't ever got involved is because some of the cases that I've worked in my career, I'm a federal investigator.
He's a guy whose entire career is built on not getting carried away, on not deciding what happened first and then going out looking for proof.
He'll actually tell you more than once that he's careful about what he'll swear to and what he won't.
He had a demanding job, a life out west, and a healthy suspicion of the kind of storytelling that had already turned Kelly's case into an absolute circus.
He's one of the founders of the Justice for Kelly Wilson Committee, the group of folks in Gilmour who never stopped pushing, never stopped believing there was more to this than the official version.
