Mind Over Murder NEW: Audrey Jean Weiler and the Colonial Parkway Murders
Apr 4, 2022
44:13
In this brand-new episode, "Mind Over Murder" co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley explore the history of the Colonial Parkway itself, as well as the largely forgotten murder case of Audrey Jean Weiler, who was brutally murdered by Michael Marnell Smith, a two-time offender along the Colonial Parkway. Could Michael Marnell Smith's being put to death just weeks prior to the murder of Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski on the Parkway be somehow related to their deaths?
