The Kathy Wilson Murder Case

When the 34-year-old mother of three disappeared on the afternoon of May 18, 1988, a search began in a three-state area centered around Jamestown, NY. Eighteen months later when her skeletal remains were found in a remote and wooded site in the hills of nearby northwestern Pennsylvania, a two-year ordeal began for the people of the area. Jay William Buckley was acquitted by a jury of his peers, but the jury of public opinion still saw him as guilty. Publisher Harold T. Beck took up the case at the urging of Defense Attorney Barry Lee Smith, and since July 1994, the public has had an insight into the corruption that has surrounded this case since the early evening hours of that rainy Wednesday in 1988. RIPE FOR THE PICKING is the series written by Mr. Beck.

This capsule of the Kathy Wilson murder will refer to key portions of a copyrighted article that ran in the Wall Street Journal by Staff Reporter Laurie P. Cohen on April 16, 1997. The article discusses this case, along with others, with respect to one of the prosecution’s key witnesses giving false testimony in an attempt to gain a conviction. That witness would be FBI Special Agent and purported hair analysis expert Michael Malone.

The Trial of Jay William Buckley
Volume 2, Part 4

The murder of Kathy Ann Wilson of Jamestown, New York, will celebrate a dubious tenth anniversary on May 18, 1998. The murder remains unsolved. While Law Enforcement Authorities in two states still maintain that the accused murderer, Jay William Buckley, got off as a result of a slick lawyer and a jury that could not assess the facts of the case properly, many maintain that they participated in a conspiracy of misinformation and incompetence and allowed the actual murderer to slip through their fingers.
