the Colonial parkway murders: 36 years

EIGHT VICTIMS - FOUR COUPLES

The Colonial Parkway Murders involve the brutal murders of 4 young couples who were killed in lover's lanes in and around beautiful Williamsburg, Virginia from 1986 to  1989.  The cases remain unsolved. Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley, together with the families of the Colonial Parkway Murders victims remain committed to seeing justice done in this tragic case.

A MURDER MAP

While there are no known forensic links between the four incidents, there are basic similarities, and the pattern of four double homicides in a four-year period is striking, as is the proximity of the cases. Incidents 1 and 3 are handled by the FBI Newport News office, and incidents 2 and 4 are handled b y the Virginia State Police. (Photo: courtesy of The Virginian Pilot) 

ON AND OFF THE PARKWAY

Although the media dubbed them "Colonial Parkway Murders" years ago, only two of the cases happened in the 23 mile long Colonial Parkway National Park and two more double homicides happened outside the park.  It is about a 

30 minute drive from the center point of the Colonial Parkway to the 

Ragged Island site to the south and to the New Kent County site to the north. 

NATIONAL MEDIA Interest

Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley's advocacy has led to a national true crime television series, "Lovers Lane Murders" (launched on Oxygen Network Feb. 2021), as well as feature stories in the Washington Post, the Daily Press, HuffPo, Daily News, Medium, the Daily Beast, Norfolk Now, and Williamsburg Daily, extensive quotes in the New York Times , appearances on Access Hollywood, Doctor Oz, Fox News, Dateline NBC online, Public Radio's 1A, multiple live appearances at CrimeCon, and scores of appearances on true crime podcasts.
