Who killed Wil Hendrick? This week on "Until the End of Crime," your hosts Cameron and Hayden dive into the haunting 1999 disappearance and murder of the 25-year-old University of Idaho student in Moscow, Idaho, whose partial remains were found over three years after he vanished from a party. Join them as they unravel Wil's last known moments, the unsettling clues surrounding his abandoned car, the complex, often criticized investigation, and compelling theories—from a brutal hate crime linked to his openly gay identity to potential suspects like a mysterious truck driver and a homophobic hitchhiker. Together, Cameron and Hayden explore the enduring search for justice in this tragic case, kept alive by media and online sleuths, holding onto the hope that new light can be shed on the decades-old mystery because somebody out there knows something.
