"" The bodies of seven women found over the
weekend in northwest Indiana have been
linked to an unidentified possible serial killer
who is in police custody and led authorities to
at least three of the bodies, officials said
Monday.
The women were found throughout Hammond
and Gary, according to the Lake County
coroner's office. The Chicago Sun-Times cited
police sources saying the man in custody is a
43-year-old resident of Gary. Hammond Chief
John Doughty said police will have more
information at a press conference Monday, but
said the man gave police information on three
other dead women, all in Gary. Hammond
Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. called the
person of interest a “serial killer” in a
Facebook post Sunday afternoon and said he
has “admitted to a couple of homicides in
Hammond,” that date back to 1994 or 1995.
He also said in his posts that the man is a
convicted sex offender.
"The suspect Hammond arrested for the Motel
6 murder is an admitted serial killer,"
McDermott wrote. "The suspect gave up the
location of a body in Gary that was confirmed
found where he said it would be."
The flurry of grisly discoveries began when
Hammond police responded to a call of an
unresponsive person Friday evening at a Motel
6 and found the strangled body of a woman
identified as Afrika Hardy, 19. As part of the
investigation into her death, police executed a
search warrant on a home in Gary, where they
also took the person of interest into custody,
Hammond Police Lt. Richard Hoyda told the
Chicago Tribune in an email.
The man, whose name is being withheld
pending charges, later confessed, Hoyda said,
and told police where to find three other dead
women, all in Gary. Police discovered the body
of Anith Jones, 35, of Merrillville, around 11:20
p.m. Saturday in an abandoned home in Gary.
Her family had reported her missing on Oct. 8.
Jones' sister, Yolanda Nowell, previously
described her as “very street savvy” and said
she had moved 10 years ago from Chicago to
Indiana, where she operated a stand at a
nearby flea market.
Police found the next body around 1 a.m.
Sunday and a third body less than an hour
later, according to the Tribune.
Late Sunday, the coroner's office confirmed
the discovery of three additional Jane Does,
all of which were found in Gary.
All seven deaths have been ruled homicides,
according to the coroner's office. Most of the
bodies were found in or around abandoned or
fire-damaged homes in blighted
neighborhoods, according to reports. The
house near where Jones was found was
described as being located in a thriving
neighborhood, although it is unkempt, with
overgrown grass and weeds.
In a statement, Gary Police Cpl. Gabrielle King
sought to ease apprehension in the gritty city
of 78,000, noting that the man is in custody
and that Gary and Hammond police are
working together to bring charges.
“We would like to dispel the rumor that there
is a serial killer on the loose,” the statement
read. “There is a 43-year-old man in the
custody of The Hammond Police Department,
who led officials to 3 deceased female victims
who has claimed responsibility for their
demise. Gary Police are closely working with
Hammond Police to assist in covering every
area of the investigation needed to pursue
charges as expeditiously as possible. “
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson and Gary
Chief Larry McKinley in a joint statement
asked for calm and patience.
“We commend the officers for their work thus
far and ask the citizens to remain calm and
patient as our teams work this investigation
and do what they do best,” their statement
said.""

Scary world out there! Gaw I wonder if he's murdered more then that many women ....who knows he might of met his victims online on a dating site .......never know who you might meet ....scary!!!!!

I hope for the community's sake, the man in custody is the perp., & not one of these wackos, that confesses. After all, 20 years? And he leaves a body in a Motel6? Wouldn't that be a big f*ck up, for a seasoned kidnapper, rapist, murderer ?

News just said latest murder might be linked to an online escort service....no linky yet....lemme do a few things and Ill research further

Not much out there yet, but I did find this.....


"" The man, who has not been identified
pending charges, may have killed many more
victims over several years, WGN reported.
His latest victim — 19-year-old Afrika Hardy,
who was strangled — may have been
prostitute he met on the Craigslist-like
website Backpage.com, according to the
station.
He is reported to have acted alone in killing
'many others' in Indiana and Illinois,
according to WGN.
The Lake County coroner's office said second
victim had been identified by family members
as 35-year-old Anith Jones of Merrillville.
Cops were led to the bodies of two other
women.
Autopsies had not yet been completed on her
or the other two women, who have not yet
been identified.
The Post-Tribune of Merrillville reported
Jones had been missing since Oct. 8 and
Gary police had searched a block recently
looking for her.
Police discovered Hardy's body about
9:30pm Friday at a Motel 6.
'A friend of the deceased called us and she
was concerned when she didn't respond to
her calling,' Hoyda said. 'We were sent there
and found that person dead.'
Police investigating her death obtained a
search warrant for a home and vehicle in
Gary.""
