When it comes to cold homicides, sometimes the best thing to do is bring in someone from the outside—a fresh set of eyes. That is exactly what the families of Colonial Parkway murder victims did in early June 2010. They called upon Steven Spingola, a former homicide detective with the Milwaukee Police Department.
Known amongst his colleagues as ‘the sleuth with the proof,’ Spingola spent 15 years chasing down cold-blooded killers. But the slayings of three couples and the disappearance of another near Yorktown, Virginia from 1986 to 1989 required the savvy investigator and his Spingola Files staff to visit and reconstruct decades-old crime scenes that have puzzled law enforcement for over a generation.
Predators on the Parkway: a Former Homicide Detective Explores the Colonial Parkway Murders is a 29-page magazine expose that provides a thoughtful analysis of each crime scene based on the physical evidence, and interviews with tipsters, the victims’ families and law enforcement veterans.
For the first time, Steven Spingola takes the opportunity to share new information that may very well result in the development of a named person of interest in one of the Colonial Parkway murders.
“Can't wait to read it,” writes Bill Thomas, the brother of Colonial Parkway victim Cathleen Thomas. “Steve is a smart investigator, and I am sure after his recent visit to Virginia he will have interesting insights into the Colonial Parkway Murders and other unsolved cases there.”
