Explosive words
By Hawes Spencer and Barbara Nordin
When the indictment was handed down last week by a Charlottesville grand jury in the 1996 murders of two women in Shenandoah National Park, a fearful period in Park history may have ended, and the families of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans may have found some small measure of relief. But for the families of other young women murdered in Central Virginia, the anguish of uncertainty continues. Still, clues from the court files of 34-year-old Darrell David Rice of Columbia, Maryland, reveal that even if he's not responsible for a wide range of crimes, he has, in his own words, occasionally "exploded."
