All That Remains is a crime fiction novel by Patricia Cornwell.
In real life the cases are still unsolved though, as described in the true crime documentary Lovers’ Lane Murders from 2021.
However, in January 2024, DNA of Alan Wade Wilmer, Sr. was confirmed to match DNA found at one of the Colonial Parkway crime scenes and it was determined that he was responsible for the deaths of at least 2 of the victims.
The case is ongoing to confirm Wilmer, Sr. as the official Colonial Parkway Killer.
As Cornwell's novel made many believe that the Colonial Parkway murders had been solved,[2] father-daughter true crime authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester issued their book A special kind of evil in 2017, providing new information from the investigations.
