In 1987, Roxanne Wood’s husband Terry found her lying on the kitchen floor in a huge pool of her own blood. She had been raped and her throat slit. An incredibly small window of time in which her murder could have occurred led police to suspect that her husband was lying – and that he had staged the scene to make it appear an intruder had killed Roxanne. Terry Wood was the only suspect for years – until forensic genealogy pointed to someone else entirely. Someone who had done this before – and should not have been on the streets in the first place. Someone who was living just miles from the scene of the crime he had committed decades earlier – Patrick Wayne Gilham.

In January, 2012, a resident in a trailer park located in Opelika, Alabama made a startling discovery when he found what he believed to be a small human skull. Police were called out to investigate, and upon further searching, found more human remains and hair in the woods nearby. Sadly, they determined that the remains belonged to a young female child and she had been murdered. Closer examination of her remains proved that she had suffered a great deal of injuries and broken bones in her short life.
