Details: Forty-three-year-old divorcee Hilda Amelia Roche worked in military intelligence for the Department of the Army in Arlington, Virginia. On Friday, March 25, 1982, she met a man at the fashionable singles bar, Rafters, in Alexandria. She later told friends that she had dinner with him and planned on seeing him again. Oddly, she never told anyone his name. She told one of her friends that he was single, attractive, and had a lot of money. She said that she was impressed that he was driving a beautiful car. Her friend told her not to believe everything he said. The friend suggested that the car may have been rented, and that anyone can make up a big story about themselves. The friend told her to watch out, since she did not know anything about him.
One week later, on April 2, the nude body of a woman was found in a wooded area near an elementary school in Montclair, Virginia. She had been murdered execution-style. There were signs of sexual assault. At first, police had no idea who she was. Four days later, investigators searched Hilda's townhouse after coworkers had reported her missing. In the living room, officers found her wallet. After looking at her driver's license, they realized that she was the woman that had been found murdered.
Evidence in Hilda's bedroom confirmed that she had been sexually molested. The bed and whole room were in disarray. In it, investigators found her blouse, a pair of slacks, some pantyhose, and some adhesive tape. The evidence indicated that a struggle had occurred there. Other evidence found in it indicated that some type of sexual activity took place. Because there were no signs of forced entry at her townhouse, investigators concluded that she was murdered by someone she knew.
Most homicide detectives agree that the first forty-eight hours of a murder investigation are the most crucial. Beyond that point, leads grow cold and suspects disappear. In this case, it took four days just to identify Hilda and more than three months to zero in on a suspect, who authorities now believe may be a serial killer.
When detectives interviewed Hilda's friends, they learned about the mysterious man she had met at Rafters just one week before her death. She had told them that he did contract work for the government, was from Florida, and lived in the Oakwood Apartments in Alexandria. She also told them that she had gone to his apartment that evening. The 1,400-unit apartment complex was the only clue to his identity. Detectives searched through files and files of lease agreements, dating back three years. They were looking for any resident, past or present, who matched his description.
Detectives went through approximately 25,000 to 30,000 files. Out of those, they came up with thirty-two possible names that fit the profile of the man. Detective Donald Cahill was confident that his team was closing in. All they needed was one piece of evidence that could link any of the possible suspects with Hilda.
