The Tree Remembered: The Nancy Wilson Cold Case

A single pink size 5 canvas sneaker, wedged three and a half feet up in a cedar tree and partially swallowed by bark, sat untouched for 31 years before a county surveyor found it - and the tread held human blood and two DNA contributors, one matching the victim. How did that sneaker survive three decades in a tree, and whose DNA stayed with it long enough to reopen a case that had shadowed a wrongly suspected ex for twenty years?
In this episode, we tell the story of how a solitary piece of evidence moved an inactive investigation back into motion, following the discovery, the lab results, and one cold-case investigator's work that led from a filed photo to a courtroom confession. Can the memory kept by a tree and a tiny sneaker finally answer what happened to Nancy Wilson?
Person: Nancy Wilson
Date: May 9, 1991 (time of death placed on the evening of May 9)
Location: Sycamore Branch Road and a creek bed ~0.5 mile northeast (Pelham County, Virginia)
Status: Case reopened after 31 years; led to a confession at trial
Investigator: Jason Edwards (sole Pelham County cold case desk staff in spring 2022)
- A pink women's size 5 canvas sneaker was found wedged ~3.5 feet high in a cedar tree with bark grown around the heel.
- The sneaker was discovered on May 14, 2022 by surveyor Ralph Hamilton while clearing a sight line.
- Lab tests found red clay, decomposed organic material, a luminol reaction for human blood, and two DNA contributors including Nancy Wilson.
- Nancy Wilson left work at 5:15 PM on May 9, 1991 and her body was found May 12, 1991 in a creek bed; cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
- Over 60 interviews were conducted in the original eight-month investigation; Greg Aldridge was the primary suspect but was never charged and died in 2011.
