They offered to call a tow truck, but the driver refused help.ĭavis and Simpson discovered that two years later, the witnesses identified Thomas Dillon as the man driving the car. Dillon, a serial killer, was arrested in 1992 and charged with killing hunters, fishermen and other outdoorsmen. Minutes after two shots were heard from within the Fulton Game area, which bordered Titus’ property, two witnesses heard a car screech off the road, landing in a ditch. Titus was convicted in August 2002 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But the investigation was reopened 10 years later by a newly formed Cold Case unit who quickly identified Titus as the primary suspect and arrested him in 2001. Prosecutors argued to the jury that Titus would have had enough time to drive to the murder scene and back, rendering his alibi faulty. At the hour of the murder, Titus was deer hunting with a friend over 27 miles away and thus was cleared by the original detectives on the case. The men did not know each other and were hunting separately when they were each killed with a single shot to the back. The murders of Doug Estes and Jim Bennett occurred in the woods adjacent to Titus’ farm on the first day of deer season on November 17, 1990.
