Two more suspects arrested in possible serial killings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Investigators have identified two additional serial killing suspects as part of the same probe that led authorities to charge a Kansas City man with killing 12 women, the head of the city's crime lab said yesterday.
"They are ongoing investigations," said lab director Gary Howell, who defined the suspects' crimes as two or more sex-motivated homicides.
Howell declined to provide other details about the suspects or the victims, including exactly how many people investigators think the suspects may have killed. But he did say that their crimes did not approach the level of 53-year-old Lorenzo Gilyard, who was charged Saturday with killing 12 women.
Both suspects are in police custody and are likely to be charged in the future with additional crimes, Howell said.
