## Resource

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has officially named Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. as the suspect responsible for the 1988 disappearances of Keith Call and Cassandra Hailey. This recent determination connects the missing pair to the Colonial Parkway Murders, a notorious series of cold cases that occurred in Virginia during the late 1980s. Although forensic evidence is lacking in this specific instance, authorities cited a distinctive behavioral pattern and geographic similarities to Wilmer’s other confirmed killings. Wilmer, who died in 2017, had previously been linked through DNA technology to several other regional homicides and sexual assaults. Despite the announcement, surviving family members expressed significant frustration regarding the decades-long delay and the circumstantial nature of the newest findings. This update brings a partial resolution to the decades of uncertainty surrounding the victims, yet the families maintain that true closure remains elusive.
