BONUS: Ron Little's Connection to Colonial Parkway Murders

In this bonus episode of Mind Over Murder, hosts Kristen Dilley and Bill Thomas, joined by special guests Joyce Call Canada (sister of missing teen Keith Call) and Kelly Richards (former employee at Roses Department Store), revisit the troubling connection between private investigator Ron Little and the unsolved Colonial Parkway murders. The discussion centers on Little’s ownership of Liberty Security (later Advanced Security), a company linked to three of the four victims now confirmed via DNA to have been murdered by Alan Wade Wilmer Sr.—Laurie Ann Powell, Robin Edwards, and potentially Keith Call. Kelly Richards recounts her firsthand experiences working with Little at Roses, describing his predatory behavior, fake badge, and pattern of targeting young women. She reveals that Little approached both Laurie Ann Powell and Keith Call with job offers from his security firm, raising serious questions about his involvement. The episode also details a shocking 1987 armed incident at the Roses store, where an unidentified shooter injured a manager—suspected by Kelly to be Little—after overhearing her and her manager discuss him. The hosts emphasize the urgent need for law enforcement, particularly the FBI, to act on new evidence and close these long-unsolved cases, especially given the emotional toll on families after nearly four decades of waiting for answers.
