Reston's Nudist Colony and Killer

Thinking back to Reston's ur-creation myth, we all know that Bob Simon created our earth-toned community out of a clump of russet brown Virginia clay and a fistful of oil company dollars back in the freewheeling 1960s.
Before that momentous event, the area's only residents were a bunch of squirrels (but not Earl), the remaining residents of the drunken village of Wiehle, which had been founded around the turn of the last century.... and, it turns out, another sort of "new town" with its own distinctive rules that residents were expected to follow to the letter.
An HOA? Not quite. Reston, it turns out, used to be home to a nudist colony, which in turn was home to a homicidal maniac who killed his wife and infant child back in 1949!

Actually, He built Reston from the sale of family property, Carnegie Hall. Gulf Oil got involved later. The Nudist Colony was out in Hunter's Woods. When we were kids, we searched from Colt's Neck to the future site of South lakes for any sign of it.
