Officials building Evonitz timeline

Date published: 7/12/2002

Investigators trying to link Richard Marc Evonitz with the slayings of three young women from the Spotsylvania area are trying to create a blueprint of the time he spent in the area.

Officials have requested both a copy of a letter that Evonitz wrote to The Free Lance-Star in 1993 and a reprint of a newspaper photograph that may contain Evonitz published in 1996, seven days before Sofia Silva was kidnapped.

Evonitz became a suspect in the deaths of Silva and sisters Kristin and Kati Lisk after he killed himself last month in a standoff with Florida police. Evonitz was being sought then for the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old Columbia, S.C., girl.

Circumstantial evidence found in his South Carolina apartment led authorities to suspect him in the Lisk-Silva slayings.

In the 1993 letter to the editor, Evonitz urged tolerance for homosexuals.

Authorities are awaiting results of DNA tests that could conclusively link Evonitz to the Lisk-Silva killings.
