• May 31: Vida Nystrom Durham, 28, manager of the Chili's restaurant on State Farm Parkway in Wildwood, was found stabbed to death at the restaurant after police responded to a distress alarm signal at 3:21 AM. James Hayvord Wilson, a former employee who had been fired by another manager a month prior, was observed fleeing the scene in Mrs. Durham's vehicle. After a brief pursuit Wilson was taken into custody along with cash from the restaurant and the apparent murder weapon. Wilson and another suspect, Roderick Clancy, were both charged with capital murder.

A Jefferson County jury acquitted Roderick Clancy of capital murder in February 1995.

In March 1995 James Wilson accepted a life without parole sentence in exchange for his guilty plea. He is serving his sentence at the William E. Donaldson Correctional Facility.
