Remains of 4 more people found in serial killings probe

By DAVE COLLINS, Associated Press | May 11, 2015 | Updated: May 11, 2015 4:02pm

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Authorities investigating a possible serial killer said Monday that the remains of at least four more people have been found behind a strip mall where the partial skeletons of three women were discovered in 2007.

Police in New Britain also said they believe one person killed all seven victims. They did not release the suspect's name but said without elaborating that the person is not a danger to the public.

that serial killing theory proves true, the case would rival that of Connecticut's most notorious serial killer, Michael Ross, who admitted slaying eight women and girls in Connecticut and New York in the 1980s and was put to death in 2005 in New England's first execution in decades.

One of the newly discovered victims has been identified as Melanie Ruth Camilini, a mother of two from Seymour, who was last seen in Waterbury in 2003. Authorities said they are still attempting to identify the others.

with this part from the snippet above: "They did not release the suspect's name but said without elaborating that the person is not a danger to the public."

Unless the killer is already in prison for another crime or something, how can they not be a danger to the public? I tend to think of serial killers as a danger to the public. 0.o

Sounds to me that they have the guy in custody and he is telling where the bodies are from years ago.
As in a plea deal for something now...

Old Law and Order episode had that plot.

No one will later be arguing that a sentence of Life without Parole is "cruel and unusual" and advocating letting this piece of shit out one day.
