Cahill, 56, is an unusual defendant. She has no criminal history and has continued her longtime job with the Police Law Institute, an Iowa-based company that helps train police officers nationwide, while awaiting trial. She has said that Wieneke was her best friend and that she wasn't involved in his death, which devastated her. Many of her friends and relatives, who praise her cooking and quilting skills, say she is the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
The Division of Criminal Investigation reopened the Wieneke case after an agent received a tip from a woman while working an unrelated case in 2017. The woman, 36, has told police that she was 9 in 1992 and visiting a childhood friend who is Cahill's niece. One evening, she says she saw Cahill pacing around, lighting candles and making incriminating statements about killing Wieneke.Cahill's lawyers are expected to attack their claims as tainted by animosity.
I hope we are able to listen to this trial.
My God protect me and my all family against the bad people! God bless US!
