It's hard to say if the jury was wrong in finding Wilhoit not guilty in the trial where Wilhoit was charged with attempted rape and shooting a woman.
There's so much info woven in and out and back and forth at the Carla Walker site that it was actually a little hard for me to read without backtracking often. The woman I think you're referring to with the above was Janelle K. If so, Wilhoit wasn't charged and tried for her attempted rape & shooting her 5 times in the head. Another man, Kenneth Miller, I believe was. He was the one who just walked out the court room and evaded them for something like 12 years until being caught in Las Vegas and returned to FW. He was found guilty & sentenced to 75 yrs in absentia. If that's the particular case and I am not forgetting another attempt assault in all that info!
It is written in that page tho, further down, that Wilhoit actually did confess to the crimes against Janelle K. He did so apparently because he was given immunity. (ugh)
It was also mentioned on that page that Wilhoit had said something regarding disposing of bodies (how to)... of course this was coming from another prison inmate so it's hard to assess such a thing in print... and there's the added irksome fact that it comes from yet another criminal.. who's to say.
Ret. Det. Terrell mentions that Rusty (as well as two of the mothers of our girls here) shared the letter with him and that he (Terrell) had it analyzed by the handwriting expert who determined it was not Wilhoit's handwriting... but I don't recall now what has been said here regarding the handwriting and if there was an inkling that it could have been Rachel's or Renee's maybe. I still need to go re-read here, obviously.
I don't know, I'm just not ready to dismiss Wilhoit. And it's definitely not due to the Walker page really. Terrell indicates by including the girls there that he still feels there's a link. He definitely feels Wilhoit killed Walker and attacked Janelle K. To be honest, there were several times in the reading of that page that I wanted to dismiss Terrell and his tenacity as unfortunately wrong but obsessed. In the end tho, I feel he's got something... but just not enough. So, I'm thinking Wilhoit's in the right area at the right time for this case with the added complexity of having criminal troubles following him and looming over his head like a black cloud.
Oh, regarding lost evidence in the Walker case. That was one of the excuses apparently given to Terrell when he asked about it (among about 5 other excuses, I think to simply put him off and not respond.) The Chief denied to Carla's family that any physical evidence had been lost. Again, who's to say?!
Anyway... it is indeed frustrating to think that this case (or any other for that matter) could go unsolved. Sigh, I'm off to begin re-reading this forum.
