I have followed this case very closely. I don't think the Julie Williams and Lollie Winans case has been fictionalized. There was a book by author Renee MacKenzie, "23 Miles," which is based on my sister Cathy Thomas and her girlfriend Rebecca Dowski's unsolved murder in Virginia as part of the Colonial Parkway Murders. That would fall under the lesbian fiction category. Might that be the book you are thinking of?(less)

Also: what happened to the guy that the hikers took a photo of towards the beginning of the book, who knew a disturbing amount before the public should have? I wonder if facial recognition software could track down who that person was today.
