American was looking for biological parents, but a DNA test revealed to her a terrible secret
Sometimes, trying to find the truth, we get information that would forever change our lives. That's what happened in American Katie Gilchrist (Kathy Gillcrist) from North Carolina, seeking their biological parents with the help of DNA test and learned a terrible secret his father is a merciless killer who was never found.
Back in school Katie Gilchrist began to suspect that her parents are not her relatives. First, it was not perfect like them, and secondly, one could hardly believe that a quiet and closed pairs may appear on the light so energetic and loving to attract the attention of the daughter.
But with the unraveling of a family secret Katie was able to do only in 2017, when he retired. She purchased a set for home DNA testing and started to research. First the results were not long in coming – Hillcrest found my third cousin sister Susan Gilmore. Serendipitously uncovered cousin worked as a genealogist and was well versed in the intricacies of home search.
Susan quickly found information about Katie's mother and found out that the woman gave a daughter up for adoption in 1957. It became known that she's gone. There was still my dad, but it got really complicated. Susan could not find a trace of him in the papers a few years, but eventually found where I wanted.
Katie Gilchrist learned a terrible secret that totally changed her life. Susan learns the truth first, hesitated to tell her sister and just told her the name of the father. Katie decided at first that she's the daughter of some celebrities and that's pretty close. Her father was William Bradford Bishop Jr., 1976, listed as wanted by the FBI on suspicion of the murder of his wife and three sons, 5, 10 and 14 years. Bishop was still suspected in the murder of his 68-year-old mother.
FBI investigators found out that the killer was deprived their victims of life, and then taken to the woods, burned their bodies and the ashes buried in the ground. The car of the Bishop, in which he transported the body, found in a national Park, but the killer could not be found until now. Investigators believe that Bishop Jr., immediately after the destruction of evidence left US and if still alive, it is in another country.
When Katie learned the story of his dad, the first did not believe and decided that it's kind of not a good joke.
But later the woman had to accept the truth as it is, after all, the documents and the DNA test was very difficult. Susan could see that Bishop was raised by Katie some time while I was in a relationship with her mother. This was before he became a killer. Gillcrist biological mother who had three daughters, broke with the man before he committed the crime and died very young, and not knowing who brought her fate.
The FBI admit that William Bradford Bishop Jr. may be alive still. For information which would facilitate his capture, a reward 129 thousand dollars (10 million). The information on the website "Federal" States that a man may be armed and dangerous, so do not try to apprehend him yourself.
In 2014 was last updated information about the Bishop. The description says about him as a person with a high level of intelligence, who loves travelling and knows Spanish, Serbo-Croatian, French and Italian. In addition, it is known that the killer is suicidal and suffered from insomnia.
At the time of the murder Bishop, Jr. was an employee of the US state Department. The day of the tragedy he was passed over for a promotion and, according to psychologists, it could provoke him to murder. Now William, if he's alive, 84 years old and probably abroad, he lives under an assumed name.
For Katie's expect the joy of gaining roots turned into a nightmare. Especially depressing is that she is very similar in appearance to the paternal relatives. As Bishop, Jr., she's loud and outgoing extrovert and also loves theatre, and her paternal grandmother. Katie is very similar to the murdered brothers, which were only seen pictures of.
All this had fallen on the woman's head and forced her to look in new ways at many things. Now she wants to tell the story of his life, the search for the biological parents and the terrible secret of the father. As for the FBI, the agents still do not lose hope to get on the trail of the killer, as his crime has no Statute of limitations. The case is not so hopeless, because sometimes secrets are revealed, even after half a century.
