I've given a lot of thought to the 44 stabs, and I researched murders committed by multiple stabbings. They are typically committed on a spouse/lover by a spouse/lover. Not always, but it is usually the case. It occurs following a period of built up anger, jealousy, loss of control of the victim, the victim ending the relationship. 

I have not found any similar murders that took place in Virginia around the same time or within a few years of Bowman's, which leaves me thinking this was an exclusive one to the killer.  This was either the only murder the killer committed or the only murder the killer committed of this style. 

I suspect Bowman was most likely targeted, and that it was not a random choice of the nearest door to bang on.  Bowman's cop car was parked right out front.  The killer probably waited for Bowman to get home, and not followed him there. The killer was prepared - knife, disguise (wig, sunglasses, plastic construction hat), escape plan, did not park near Bowma's residence.

I doubt the killer was some crazed or drugged out maniac.  He was too organized. He got Bowman to open his door.  He got away.  He knew what he did was wrong, so he took off fast. He hasn't  bragged to anyone about it.  

 This theory of multiple stabbings being a result of a spouse/lover spat is often referred to as an intimate relationship.   My understanding is that intimate relationship has been expanded beyond spouse/lover and refers to a close contact relationship which could include work or other association where the people closely interact (family (other than spouse/lover), community association, hobby, business relationship - ie provider of service/receiver of same).

Believing the spouse/lover aspect has severely limited investigations, including our own. 

I agree it's in regards to a relationship, however, I wouldn't focus on an intimate spouse/lover one.  If the suspect felt threatened enough and held Bowman responsible for some loss, that would be enough for him/her to be that enraged to repeatedly stab someone.

Interesting comment on the Facebook page for the Office of Justice Programs. Not sure who this person is or their credibility, so I'd take it with a grain of salt, but they mention some interesting details about the suspect (Perry L Worrell) and his wife's connections. Sounds like she could have had the investigation quashed.

I'm not sure if this has already been shared here before so my apologies if it has. This is the FBI webpage for Johnny Bowman:

JayB130,

Thank you for posting this.  

I can't believe Bowman's murder is the only unsolved Virginia State Trooper murder in the whole history of the state of Virginia.

LE has the murderer's blood.  I wonder if they are ever going to do a Familia DNA trace.

This is a very interesting post.  The author claims to have been a good friend of Bowman.  

He wrote that he received a phone call at 5 in the morning on the day Bowman was murdered, but doesn't as say who called or what the caller said. He claims there's a woman's DNA in the wig.  Does that mean the woman whose DNA it is was the killer, or, that  her wig was used by the killer?   I wish gave the motive for the murder.

If this stuff is true, its very disturbing.?

Cleo, in case you didn’t catch the latest Mind Over Murder podcast, the true crime author Ron Peterson Jr was interviewed and he said he was working on a book about the Johnny Bowman case. Thought you might be interested.
