FBI Identifies Serial Rapist as 1996 Shenandoah Double Murderer

DNA evidence links Ohio's Walter Jackson to the brutal killings of two female hikers nearly three decades ago.

Walter Jackson, a convicted rapist who died in 2018, has been identified through DNA evidence as the murderer of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans.
The women were found bound, gagged, and with their throats slashed at their Shenandoah National Park campsite.
A new investigative team reexamined the case in 2021, leading to the DNA match with Jackson.
Previous suspect Darrell Rice was exonerated after DNA evidence ruled him out.
Authorities found no evidence that the murders were motivated by the victims' sexual orientation.
