MURDERED AND MISSING: Bill and Kay Wood, Part 2
from Cardinal Crimes · host Cardinal Crimes
On July 30, 2011, a massive fire destroyed the home of Bill and Kay Wood. One victim was found in the rubble, and testing would later confirm the remains were those of Bill. An autopsy revealed he had been shot several times before the fire. Kay's remains were not found in the home. The couple's vehicle was found during the fire, 170 miles south in Kansas City, MO, and an unidentified male was seen walking nearby. To this day, the cause of the fire remains unknown, the murder of Bill and disappearance of Kay remain unsolved, and the identity of the man observed near their vehicle has never been discovered. In last week's episode, we discussed the details of the case, and in today's episode, part two, we go over the records provided to me by the Iowa Department of Public Safety. While the records don't answer the many questions I have on this case, they provide more detail on the extent of the fire damage, the discovery of the remains in the home, and help to refine the timeline of events.
