Murder In The Family: Travis John Wolfkill stabbed his grandmother, Shirley Wilson, to death; Sentenced to life in prison

The record includes evidence of the following: Sometime on the night of March 1, 2002, Shirley Wilson was stabbed to death in her home in Des Moines, which she shared with her grandson, Wolfkill. At trial, Chris McAdam testified Wolfkill had told him earlier on the day of Wilson’s death, “I hate my grandma. I wish she was dead.” In addition, Jeremy Chirch testified Wolfkill had told him earlier on the evening of Wilson’s death that he was going to
kill a family member. Wolfkill admitted to being in the house at about the time Wilson was killed. Wilson’s DNA was found on Wolfkill’s leg. The crime scene indicated Wilson had struggled with her killer; and a day after the murder,
Wolfkill’s body displayed marks consistent with having been in a fight. Finally, Wolfkill’s shirt, which had Wilson’s DNA on it, was found in Wolfkill’s bedroom. We reach the same conclusion here as we did on direct appeal.
