FBI reopening 23 year old Colonial Parkway criminal cold case

Posted on Oct 31, 2009

The families of the victims of the Colonial Parkway murders that started 23 years ago are getting renewed hope from the FBI. The FBI met with the families in Newport News, and stated that they were putting an agent in charge of the case to do a bottom-up review of all the known facts.

Eight people were murdered and two people were never found after a crime spree in York County on the Colonial Parkway. The families of the two victims who were never found are among those eager for answers in the case.

Keith Call and Cassandra Hailey went missing from the Colonial Parkway on April 10, 1988 while out on a date. Call’s parents have already passed away, but his surviving family members want to know what happened to him.

To help move the case forward, two medical examiners are going to help review records. Retired Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Marcella Fierro and current state medical examiner Dr. Leah Bush plan to review the medical records of all the Colonial Parkway murder victims.

Family members of the murder victims are calling for DNA testing by the FBI. Some in the law enforcement community are concerned that DNA testing was never performed in any of the murder cases.
