Nic is extremely knowledgable about the case and he has great insight into the possible scenarios.Guest: Nic @TrueCrimeGarage, www.truecrimegarage.comGuest: Bill Thomas, brother of victim Cathy Thomas https://www.facebook.com/ColonialParkwayCase/A serial killer is considered the most likely scenario in the Colonial Parkway Murders. They were committed between 1986-1989. At least eight people along the Colonial Parkway were killed in this three-year span. Three couples were murdered and one couple is missing and presumed to be dead. The killer has never been identified and the case remains UNSOLVED!Construction stretched over twenty-six years through the Depression, World War II, and funding shortages.The Parkway allows for a stress-free drive from Yorktown to Jamestown that avoids the regular trafficThe parkway is made of stone pavement to give the feel of old-timey highwaysThe parkway connects Virginia's historic triangle: Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown.The parkway runs along the York River and millions of cars travel this route each year.The parkway was built to resemble highways of the past so the two-lane river-gravel road doesn't have any line-markings.The parkway is only two lanes with a center lane for passing and the maximum speed limit is a mere 45 miles per hourAlthough the park closes at sunset the parkway stays open to trafficConstruction began in the spring of 1931 in Williamsburg.The parkway construction was hit with delays from the start.There were design and routing conflicts. Limited funding due to the Great Depression and World War II stretched construction over a 26-year period.The parkway was not completed until 1955 but is considered an architectural success as the design was meant to fit seamlessly into the natural and historical beauty of Virginia.Roadtrippers.com, says the Parkway is America’s Most Calming Scenic Drive, with it’s “mostly lined with trees that block any views of modern societyIf you’d like help keep the lights on and the recorders running you can support the show by clicking the donate button on the right side on whokilledamymihaljevic.com or via the Venmo app with my username @billhuffman3.
