Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Bonnie Lou Gower was married to Richard "Marc" Evonitz for nearly a decade, unaware that he was a serial killer responsible for abducting, assaulting, and murdering young girls, including a 16-year-old victim during their marriage.
- Evonitz led a double life, with Gower recalling suspicious behaviors she never questioned at the time, such as him taking time off work while claiming to be working when she was away.
- Survivor Kara Robinson Chamberlain escaped 18 hours of captivity and torture at Evonitz’s hands, and she, along with Gower, is now investigating whether he may be linked to other unsolved cases.
- Evonitz died by suicide in 2002 as police closed in after Chamberlain’s escape, and subsequent investigations linked him to multiple unsolved murders, though his DNA is not currently in the FBI’s national database.
- Gower and Chamberlain continue to seek answers about Evonitz’s full extent of crimes, with Gower still struggling to process the revelation that the man she married was capable of such violence.
