Bodies in Trunk: Detective on haunting Richmond cold case

The bodies of two teenaged friends were discovered in the trunk of a car in Richmond's Gilpin Court 25 years ago this month. A quarter century later, there are still more questions than answers about how they got there. Nineteen-year-old Herman Woolfolk III and 17-year-old Latrice Hulin disappeared the night of April 21, 2001.  The Henrico teens, who relatives say were friends but were not dating, called Hulin’s mother to tell her they were going to get some food at the TGI Friday’s restaurant in the 7000 block of West Broad Street. That was the last time anyone heard from them. The teens were reported missing the next day, and Hulin’s mother began driving around the city looking for them herself.  While searching in Gilpin Court, she discovered Woolfolk’s silver Ford Taurus parked in the 1100 block of St. Paul Street.  She then called Richmond police. “Uniformed officers showed up there, I believe there was a key in the car, and entry was gained into the trunk of the vehicle and that's where the remains were located,” said Detective Sgt. George Wade, the head of the Richmond police cold case unit, who joined Catie Beck on the most recent episode of ‘Untold – A WTVR Podcast.’ See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Chip Harding

As one of Virginia’s most notorious crimes is receiving renewed attention, a retired lawman who did his own investigation of the case is speaking out. Chip Harding sat down with Catie Beck on the most recent episode of ‘Untold – A WTVR Podcast’ to discuss his thoughts on the Jens Soering case. Soering, a former UVA student, served decades in prison for the 1985 murders of Derek and Nancy Haysom, the parents of his then girlfriend, Elizabeth. The couple was brutally stabbed to death inside their home in Bedford County. Harding, then the sheriff of Albemarle County, made headlines in 2017, when he reviewed the case files at the request of one of Soering’s attorneys and came to the conclusion that the former UVA student was wrongly convicted.
