Seven Bodies Found After Indiana Man Confesses to Motel Murder
An Indiana man who confessed to murdering a woman at a Motel 6 led police to the bodies of at least three other women this weekend.
Gary police say the man—whose name has not been released because he has not yet been charged— was arrested after police found a dead woman in a room at Motel 6 Friday.
Police arrested the man Saturday after executing a search warrant on a suspect's home and car.
The man reportedly told police he might know "where several other female victims of possible homicide were located." By Sunday, officers had discovered the bodies of three additional women.
Officials say all the bodies were discovered within a six-mile radius of each other.
UPDATE 11:06 am: The number of bodies found now stands at seven. From the Associated Press:
The bodies of seven women have now been found in Indiana state after a man confessed to killing one woman who was found strangled at a motel and leading investigators to least three other bodies, authorities said Monday.
The coroner's office said three of the bodies were found Sunday night at two locations in Gary, in addition to the four bodies found earlier over the weekend. The coroner's office called the new deaths homicides, with one victim strangled and unspecified injuries for the other two women.
