Former FBI agent Kathy Canning Mello and Lisa Zambetti (co host emeritus!) are joined by Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley of the Mind over Murder podcast to talk about the breaking news in the Shenandoah Murders case in which law enforcement believe they have finally identified a brutal killer’s identity in the killing of two young women. In May 1996, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams were murdered at their campsite in the popular Shenandoah National Park in the middle of rural Virginia, not far from a busy tourist resort called Skyland. Many people, including park and resort staff, had seen the happy, friendly couple in the area and were alarmed when they were reported missing. As experienced outdoorswomen, Lollie and Julie knew how to take care of themselves and each other. When their bodies were discovered, despite the evidence that the women had been brutally tortured and killed, law enforcement decided to not alert the public that a murderer could be in the park, and in fact diverted attention away from the crime. Ridiculous theories were floated as to the cause of their deaths such as it was the result of a bear attack or perhaps a murder-suicide. One man was eventually wrongfully accused of their murders (never successfully prosecuted) while other suspects remained at large. Kathy, Lisa, Bill and Kristin discuss the identity of the newly discovered killer, and any possible connection this killer has to the murder of Bill’s sister Cathy Thomas and her partner Becki Dowski. To hear even more about this case, you go back and listen to Jim, Laura and Lisa deep dive the Shenandoah murders in Nov 2022, ep 401 when they interviewed Kathryn Miles, the extraordinary journalist who covered Lollie and Julie’s lives and horrific deaths in her book “Trailed: One woman’s quest to solve the Shenandoah murders”.

We conclude our interview with Liz Hilderbrand. She explains trying to come to terms not only with her son Josiah’s murder but with the actions of the justice system to erase her son’s existence from a multiple homicide. Liz recalls going to the sentencing of James and Donovan Cloud, seeing the faces of the men who took Josiah’s life, and the cavalier almost jocular attitude of the courtroom. As Laura says, Josiah’s case was used as a bargaining chip for prosecutors to secure a plea deal for one of the offenders. Liz also describes her shocking treatment post sentencing by the district attorney’s office and their public complaint department representative who told her “she was not a victim”. Liz was denied the right to read her victim impact statement to the judge, but we are giving her the chance to read it today. Liz continues to fight to bring Josiah’s case to trial. We can help her open this door, please read her blog and make your voice known to the people who need to hear it. #HisNameWasJosiahHilderbrand #JusticeforJosiah What people can do to help: Follow Liz’s blog lizhilderbrand.com Follow Liz on socials: @rememberthebirds Contact Liz through email: lizhilderbrand.writer@gmail.com Send an email to Yakima County District Attorney Joe Brusic encouraging him to pursue charges in Josiah’s case: Joseph.Brusic@co.yakima.wa.us Contact WA State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s office and let them know that you are aware of Josiah’s case and are waiting for charges to be brought.

She also talks about all the evidence that links Josiah’s murder to the offenders who murdered five other people in White Swan, a remote area on the Yakama Indian Reservation and her frustration that authorities did not include Josiah in their case against the suspects James and Donovan Cloud. #HisNameWasJosiahHilderbrand #JusticeforJosiah What people can do to help: Follow Liz’s blog lizhilderbrand.com Follow Liz on socials: @rememberthebirds Contact Liz through email: lizhilderbrand.writer@gmail.com Send an email to Yakima County District Attorney Joe Brusic encouraging him to pursue charges in Josiah’s case: Joseph.Brusic@co.yakima.wa.us Contact WA State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s office and let them know that you are aware of Josiah’s case and are waiting for charges to be brought.

25-year-old Josiah Hilderbrand had dreams of becoming a firefighter in the Northern California county where he lived. He loved animals and helping all kinds of people. Most of all, he loved his mom Liz. For his whole life it had just been the two of them. Like his mom, Josiah was a huge fan of the Grateful Dead and was excited to go to Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State to see Dead & Company. On Friday June 7th, 2019, Josiah and a friend were traveling along Highway 97 on their way to see the concert when they stopped to help two people stranded on the side of the road. What happened next is every parent’s worst nightmare and would plunge Liz Hilderbrand into an abyss of pain as she desperately tried to find out what became of her son. Liz joins Laura and Lisa to tell Josiah’s story and describe her fight to bring his killers to justice. #HisNameWasJosiahHilderbrand #JusticeforJosiah What people can do to help: Follow Liz’s blog lizhilderbrand.com Follow Liz on socials: @rememberthebirds Contact Liz through email: lizhilderbrand.writer@gmail.com Send an email to Yakima County District Attorney Joe Brusic encouraging him to pursue charges in Josiah’s case: Joseph.Brusic@co.yakima.wa.us Contact WA State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s office and let them know that you are aware of Josiah’s case and are waiting for charges to be brought.
