DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – It’s been three years since 79-year-old Bill Wood of Norwalk was found dead in his burned home and his 72-year-old wife, Kay Wood, couldn’t be found but investigators and family members remain determined to find who’s responsible. Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Agent Michael Motsinger says leads have slowed but he’s hoping that letting the public know the crime remains unsolved may help uncover important information.

Bill Wood’s body was found inside the couple’s burned out home on July 30, 2011. He had been shot.  Kay has never been found. Their red Chevrolet Silverado pickup was located at a Kansas City apartment complex.
