3 more bodies found in Gary for a total of 7 victims; Sources say possible serial killer

Police in Northwest Indiana are investigating a possible serial killer, sources say, after the bodies of seven women were found.

Sources say the man in custody is talking and may be responsible for many murders over several years.

He’s a 43-year-old man from Gary and a convicted sex offender in Austin, Texas.

The Lake County coroner’s office confirms three more bodies have been located in abandoned homes in Gary. That brings the total to seven female victims found since Saturday afternoon. Sunday night, investigators found a woman’s body at 4330 Massachusetts Street and two more bodies were found at 413 East 43rd Street at about 11 p.m. None of those women have been identified.

I've only entered one abandoned home in my entire life and I did so with permission of the land owner; it had been my grt grandfather's.

fortunately this sounds anything but rational--serial killers can't help themselves. This one seems to have found a way.

I heard there will be a press conference, but I doubt they will release many details.

So far authorities have named two of the victims--

It sounds like a sexual predator situation to me, but we'll have to wait and see.

yet somehow it will make you feel better if you find out he's a racist too?

I think once you reach the point of raping and murdering multiple women, all other labels are pretty much moot.
