The FBI has now connected deceased Mollusk resident Alan W. Wilmer Sr. to the 1986 deaths of 27 year old Cathleen Thomas and 21 year old Rebecca Dowsk, bringing his known total to six murders in eastern Virginia. The two women were found in their vehicles along the Colonial Parkway, part of a series of killings that terrorized the region in the late 1980s. Wilmer, who died in 2017, often stayed on his workboat, sometimes docked in Middlesex County. Investigators say the new evidence would have supported federal prosecution if he were alive today.

He has been an Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, the Carolinas, and more. He’s even been involved in RF engineering and IT, specializing in configuration of digital automation remote voice tracking systems at one point in his career. Ed was one of 12 people nationwide who were chosen by Google to spend time at their California headquarters to participate in the design and launch of their digital automation after it was acquired from Scott Studios. Although Ed’s background for about 40 years was strongly anchored in music radio, he says the switch to news and information was a natural. Ed has been involved in “spoken word” radio since 2012.
