I really shouldn’t have taken that flexoral with wine last night. I’m so sluggish today.
More about the case. Once the authorities found the body of one Inga Wilson – shot four times in the left side of her head in the couple’s SUV – they at least knew where to start. This is important in missing persons/homicide cases because without a body (or a living person for that matter) it’s very hard to prove anything. Anyway, the authorities interviewed the family and friends, they realized that this wasn’t a normal homicide case. The suburban couple had no known enemies, were not in debt, and not had the traditional “problems” of an everyday husband-wife couple. There were no forensic clues left at the crime scene, and no witnesses.
I spoke with “Brad G” – the FBI Special Agent (now retired) who will be the star of the show. He’s on board to do the interview as long as the US Attorney says it’s OK. The logic being, if there’s no appeal issues, then the US Attorney will go ahead with the interview and then it’s OK for the FBI to as well.
I did not hear from the US Attorney’s office today, but “Raul M” with the DC metro police did call to ask which company I’m working for. At least they’re discussing my request.
The FBI SA “Brad” told me a few more details about the case and himself. He specialized in hard-to-solve murder cases and worked on some of the agency’s high-profile cases, including the DC sniper case and the murder of Chandra Levy. He is the only known FBI agent to ever track a terrorist back into Pakistan, bring him out again, see him through to arrest, arraignment, trial, conviction and execution – for the killing of two CIA agents. Not a bad career.
Regarding my case, it turns out that for any murder that happens in the District of Columbia, the FBI has the same jurisdiction as the police, so they can investigate any crime. Said crimes are also prosecuted by US Attorneys – there are no District Attorneys in the “district.”
But I digress. I’m still playing the waiting game, essentially. Waiting to hear from the US Attorney, the DC Metro police, and to try and track down some family /friends of the “W” family. But my Exec Producer did give me some advice on how to view this episode. “Look at it like a Spanish Novella, like a soap opera.” she said. Hmmm…
