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.

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.
