The Deceptive Murder of David Wilkey and the FBI’s High-Stakes Investigation into a Cold-Blooded Insurance Conspiracy

from True Crime · host Media Network

Hunter’s Target: At first it seemed like a tragic hunting accident when 18-year-old David Wilkey was shot to death in rural Virginia in 1983. A tenacious insurance investigator suspected foul play, but he had no direct evidence. Two years later, a man contacted North Carolina FBI agents with a complex story of conspiracy and murder-for-hire: he claimed he had been hired to murder Wilkey’s killer. The FBI needed to develop cooperating witnesses and wire informants to stop a man willing to kill his friends for profit.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime--6473403/support.
