Episode Details

"Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley discuss unsolved cases in Virginia with reporter and radio host Courteney Stuart of WINA Charlottesville.  Cases include the Colonial Parkway Murders, the Route 29 Stalker, and the Shenandoah National Park Murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, followed by the the bizarre death of Darrell David Rice, a longtime suspect in the Shenandoah National Park murders.  Rice was exonerated after the FBI and National Park Service announced that Walter "Leo" Jackson had been linked to the Williams/Winans murder via DNA testing on June 20, only to be struck and killed by a car on a state highway in Missouri on July 5, 2024.
