ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Investigators have identified the fourth body found behind a motel in West Atlantic City last week. According to a police press release, the fourth body is that of Molly Jean Dilts, 20, of Blairsville, Pa. Authorites are also no longer denying a serial killer is responsible for the deaths and they are actually speculating whether or not several other unsolved prostitute murders may be related to this most recent string of murders. During an interview with CBS 3, several admitted prostitutes came forward and said investigators have been showing them photos of a white man with a "scruffy beard and mustache, sporting a beer belly." Investigators will neither comfirm or deny those claims.

| Wayne Williams |
| ATLANTA, Ga. — Convicted killer Wayne Williams has filed a motion seeking comparative DNA tests, on samples recovered from the bodies of his alleged victims. Since his arrest in 1981, authorities have maintained their belief that Williams murdered 29 black men and children dating back to 1979. Williams is certain the DNA tests will clear his name. A judge has yet to rule on the motion. |
