FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida — A Turkish businessman was found dead in his hotel room today.  According to news reports, his death marks the fifth unsolved homicide in Broward County this past week.  Several overseas newspapers are reporting a serial killer is responsible. Florida authorities, however, have yet to comment on whether any of the deaths are related.

BIHAR, India — Authorities have arrested Subodhan Kumar, 25, in the deaths of nine people, dating back to 1995.  The arrest came following an illegal weapons charge.  According to investigators, Kumar voluntarily confessed to the murders and led them to one of the victim's bodies.   Kumar is the third serial killer arrested in India in the past two weeks.  These recent cases seem to suggest India is becoming a haven for serial murderers.

BATON ROUGE, La. — A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a Baton Rouge judge improperly ordered an innocent man to give DNA during the hunt for a serial killer.  The ruling results from a lawsuit the man filed three years ago in a Baton Rouge federal court.  Derrick Todd Lee was later arrested for the murders and is currently on death row.  A conference has been scheduled for Feb. 15. 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — It's been nearly two months since the bodies of four women were found behind a motel in West Atlantic City and authorities have yet to make an arrest.  Prosecutor Jeffrey Blitz spoke with members of the press today and announced that toxicology tests have came back on the four victims. 

According to Blitz, Barbara Breidor, 42, Tracy Ann Roberts, 23, and Kim Raffo, 35, all had high levels of drugs in their bodies at the time of their deaths.  The forth victim, Molly Jean Dilts, 20, had alcohol in her system.

WICHITA, Kan. — The former home of BTK serial killer Dennis Rader will be torn down.  According to Mayor Dee Stuart, the city bought the house so that they could tear it down to provide an entranceway to a park that sits behind it.  "We'd have to buy somebody's house to knock it down in order to do that," Stuart said in an interview with The Wichita Eagle. "So that's what we're going to do."  The demolition is set to take place sometime this spring.
