Nearly three decades after the brutal killings of two young women in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, federal authorities have identified a now-deceased serial rapist from Ohio as the likely perpetrator. The victims, Julianne “Julie” Williams, 24, and Laura “Lollie” Winans, 26, were found bound and gagged at their campsite in 1996.
The FBI recently announced that DNA evidence linked Walter “Leo” Jackson Sr., a convicted rapist from Ohio, to the crime scene. Jackson, who passed away in 2018, had a history of violent offenses, including kidnapping, rape, and assault.
