Description: At around 11:35 p.m. on July 30, 2011, neighbors near a home in Norwalk, Iowa, stepped outside after smelling smoke and saw flames rising high above the trees. Within minutes, firefighters arrived to find the house fully engulfed.Once the fire was extinguished, a body was discovered inside the burned remains of the home. That victim was later identified as Bill Wood. An autopsy revealed he had been murdered. Bill’s wife, Kay Wood, was not found at the scene and has never been located. More than a decade later, her disappearance - and Bill’s murder - remain unsolved, and detectives are still searching for the person, or people, responsible.If you have any information in Bill and Kay’s case, please call the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at 515-725-6036.Editor: Shannon KeirceResearch/Writing: Haley GraySUBMIT A CASE HERE: Cases@DetectivePerspectivePod.com SOCIALInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/detperspective/Twitter: https://twitter.com/detperspectiveFIND DERRICK HERETwitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickLInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/DerrickLevasseurFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerrickVLevasseurCRIME WEEKLY AND COFFEECriminal Coffee Company: https://www.CriminalCoffeeCo.comCrime Weekly: https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shopADS:1. https://www.Rula.com/Detective - Take the first step, get connected, and take control of your mental health.2. https://www.TryMiracle.com/Detective - You’ll save over 40%, and when you use promo code DETECTIVE, you’ll get an extra 20% off plus a FREE 3-piece towel set.
