While there's never been an arrest in his death, a former student and friend is refusing to let Wilkerson's case fade quietly into silence.
Frederick Wilkerson was a gifted coach and teacher behind some of the greatest voices the world has ever heard. His life and career were cut short when he was killed in his Upper West Side home 44 years ago next month.
Wilkerson helped legends like Paul Robeson and Roberta Flack hit all the right totes. Even Maya Angelou raved about Wilkerson – affectionately known as Wilkie – in an interview with Oprah.Now, decades later, he’s using that voice to get justice for his teacher who was mysteriously murdered in April of 1980.
That’s because, as Carlos explains it, lots of people dropped in on Wilkerson – to party and talk music. But the next morning, when Carlos peeked in on his friend, he found the man's cold body.Forty-four years later, with the case still unsolved, Carlos recently contacted the NYPD Cold Case Squad. Still preserved in the folder were sketches of the two men who visited Wilkerson that deadly night. The two main suspects.
