Murders of Frances Wheedleton and Kimberly Thompson

Frances Wheedleton                    Kimberly Thompson

At 8 a.m. on Feb 9. 1994, the body of 35-year-old Frances Wheedleton was found dead in the parking lot of a Substance Abuse Clinic on East Ramseur St. in Durham, North Carolina. She had been shot twice in the abdomen. 

After 5 a.m. on Feb 14, 1994, 24-year-old Kimberly Thompson was found in an apartment complex parking lot at 504 Holloway St. in Durham. She had been shot and was still alive when she was found, but unfortunately passed a short time after arriving a Duke University Hospital. Witnesses stated that a scream and a shot was heard. 

There were enough similarities between the two murders for them to be possibly related, but it isn't positive that they are. The murders were less than a mile apart from each other, the same caliber weapon was used in both and both women were possibly involved in prostitution at the time.
