Evonitz Ex-Wife, Survivor Probe 3-Killing Case for More Victims

Bonnie Lou Gower and survivor Kara Robinson Chamberlain are reexamining Richard Evonitz’s past in a new docuseries, trying to determine whether the serial killer had victims beyond the three murders tied to him.
Chamberlain says the known timeline does not add up: after an earlier indecent-exposure incident, Evonitz was linked to three killings in about 9 months, then to her 18-hour abduction in 2002.
Gower is helping rebuild his movements during their 1988-1997 marriage with calendars, dates and locations, while also revisiting warning signs she missed, including unexplained absences when she was out of town.
A key obstacle is DNA: Chamberlain said Evonitz’s profile is not in the FBI’s CODIS database, though Spotsylvania County still holds a blood sample that could be compared with evidence from unsolved cases.
Evonitz killed himself at 38 after Chamberlain escaped and led police to him; investigators later linked him to the murders of Sofia Silva, 16, and sisters Kristin Lisk, 15, and Kathryn Lisk, 12.
