State drops murder charge against Wilson
Circuit Court Judge Robert E. Clapp Jr. granted a motion to drop first degree murder charges against Sp-4 McMurray Wilson in the June 3 1974 killing of his wife Cynthia Bell Wilson at their Fort Detrick apartment. The state cited psychiatric findings that Wilson is not competent to stand trial and that his mental state has deteriorated since last year. The dismissal was without prejudice, allowing possible reinstatement if conditions warrant, as the military plans medical review and possible discharge with VA commitment.
