Angriest Serial Killer Around

Chester, Pennsylvania, is the oldest city in the state, founded in 1644 by Swedish settlers and renamed by William Penn in 1682 after a city in England. It sits in Delaware County about twenty-five minutes outside Philadelphia, and by 2022 the town had declared bankruptcy. At the time of the episode its population was 32,819; violent crime ran at about three and a half times the national average.

Amy Ellen Willard was born on June 8th, 1974, the youngest of three children. Her mother, Gail, was a nurse at Riddle Memorial Hospital in Lima, and her father, Paul, was a Chester police officer who rose to captain; the couple divorced but stayed close. Amy was a gifted athlete, a star at lacrosse and soccer at Notre Dame de Namur, an all-girls private school in Villanova, and she won a full scholarship to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. In 1996 she set school records with 50 goals and 29 assists and was named to all-conference teams in both sports. She was studying physical education and wanted to become a teacher and high school lacrosse coach.

She came home for the summer of 1996 between her junior and senior years. On June 19th her friends talked her into going to Smokey Joe's, a bar in Wayne she had never visited, and she drove her mother's blue 1995 Honda Civic. She arrived at about 10.30 p.m. and left at about 1.40 a.m., heading for Interstate 476. At about 2 a.m. an ambulance crew found the Civic abandoned on the exit ramp leading to Route 1. The engine was running, the driver's door was open, the lights and radio were on, and there was nobody around. There was a pool of blood in front of the car with a trail of drops leading away that stopped, a bloodstained tire iron, blood on the guardrail and tyre impressions nearby. The rear bumper was damaged, and her father later confirmed the damage had not been there when she took the car. He believed someone had bumped her at the traffic light and attacked her when she got out.

The next morning police found a pair of her underwear and her sneakers about half a mile away. They were dry although it had rained overnight, and the detective concluded they had been brought back and planted after the car was found. At about 5 p.m. on June 20th children playing in a vacant, trash-strewn lot at 16th Street and Indiana Avenue in Philadelphia found her body. She was naked, face down, with two plastic bags over her head. She had been beaten about the head with great force, strangled, burned with a patterned hot object and sexually assaulted; a tree branch had been forced into her vagina. There was no blood at the lot, so she had been killed elsewhere. The medical examiner gave the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries to the head and face and estimated that she died at about seven in the morning.

A twenty-three-year-old tow truck driver named Andrew Kobach came forward to say he had seen something suspicious near her car. this part of the story is covered for now He had been at the scene, his employer's yard was three blocks from the body site, and he was intensely interested in the case. details of the account remain covered until revealed He later sued news organisations over their coverage.

The Escort was traced to a towing company where it had sat for over a year after an accident. Its Firestone 440 thirteen-inch tyres matched the impressions at the scene, and its oil pan matched the patterned burn on Amy's body. Blood in the car matched her; DNA from his blood matched the semen, with odds of one in 500 million for the black population, one in 1.6 billion for white people and one in 800 million for Hispanic people. Hairs in his car matched Amy, his DNA was under her fingernails, and blood in his trunk matched.
