Doesn't get any easier after 25 years.
No. Tom Williams still thinks about
his murdered 24 year old daughter
Julie every day.
Still thinks about the last
time he saw her Easter 1996,
so that was April then.
Within 60 days she was dead,
investigators found the
nude bound and gagged bodies of Julie
Williams and her partner Lollie Winans,
just off the Appalachian Trail
in Shenandoah National Park.
A year later, police arrested
Darrell Rice for attempting
to abduct another woman,
a bicyclist in the same area of the park.
Five years after that,
a grand jury indicted Rice in
the murders of Julie and Lollie.
Darrell Rice
is, you know, pretty much a hot
mess. But lawyer and UV a Innocence Project
founder Deirdre Enright says Rice was
incapable of murdering the two women. He
wasn't able to get a woman
off a bike. And she threw a
soda at him, and sure enough,
by 2004 federal prosecutors were
forced to drop the murder charges
against rice hair and DNA evidence
found at the scene did not match his
there's male DNA on the gag and
Julie's mouth. There's hairs
under the duct tape. They weren't.
Darrell Rice is Enright,
has an alternative suspect,
Richard Marc Evonitz.
Police do say Evonitz was a serial killer.
A man who abducted little girls
from their porch is after school.
Police say Evonitz murdered Katie and
Kristen Lisk, 12 and 15 and Sophia
Silva 16 all the same year.
Julie and Lollie were killed
and not far away in Spotsylvania
County DNA at the scene in the park
does not rule evonitz out, but he
killed himself as police
closed in Richard. Mark
Evanetz killed people.
He told his sister.
Right before he killed himself,
I killed more people than
I can remember. That's not
three Darrell Rice.
His lawyers first pointed to
Evonitz as the real killer
almost 20 years ago. At the time,
prosecutors called that argument.
Specious said there is not one
scintilla of evidence to support it.
That was just before they dropped
the case against Rice.
What do you make of? Races
attorneys suggestions that this other
guy did it. I think it's a rose.
I miss her
a lot. Deirdre Enright
has some unusual allies.
Harley and Sadie Showalter,
whose own daughter Alicia,
was murdered the same month as
Julie and Lollie by a killer
dubbed the Route 29 Stalker.
Alysia's murder has also never been solved.
Shady says she asked investigators a
year ago if they'd looked at Evonitz.
They blew that
off. They blew
it off and they again said Darrell
David Rice. I mean, we're just not
finished with them yet.
The show Walters want the evidence
retested using DNA analysis
that has improved dramatically
in the last quarter century.
You think the answers?
Lie in that lab at Quantico.
Yeah, they absolutely do.
You test the evidence.
And then you say,
I'm wrong. We've asked the
FBI repeatedly and all we've
gotten back is silence. In
