I noticed the age difference on the marriage record on Ancestry... I actually thought it could be a transcription error, since it was such a large gap. (Nothing wrong with that, for the record! It's just not something I see everyday when sleuthing or doing genealogy.) I wonder how they met?
This explains the back and forth between IN and TX I mentioned in a previous post:
The woman said the relationship soured around 2000 because “we just weren’t compatible” and because Vann had started going to nightclubs with buddies, she said.
That same year, the woman moved back to Indiana. Vann followed his wife back to Indiana, she said. While there, Vann worked at a casino, doing housekeeping, she said.
Then in 2006, the woman moved back to Texas. Vann followed, she said.
“He said he wanted this marriage to work,” the woman recalled. “I said, ‘I want my freedom.'”
He was connected to something bigger. Fbi wanted run a back ground check on him

I was going to look for other victims... but figured if they have all been one race so far, I should look there?
Serial killers often pick one race... so I thought it was relevant?
Studies have been done that say statistically a serial will kill persons of the same race as themselves. In practice never exclude someone just because they are a different race. In practice there have been some killers that have crossed the race lines.
Vann’s Ex-Wife Is 29 Years Older Than Him
According to Carole Carlson, Vann divorced Maria Vann in 2010. Carlson adds that according to the court records in the divorce, he lived in Austin at the time. Heavy.com reached out to Maria Vann but her phone number has been disconnected.
The Chicago Sun-Times did manage to speak to her, and she told them that she was shocked that Vann was accused of such heinous crimes. The couple had no children but she said that her former husband had been very close to the couple’s goddaughter who lived with them for a period.
She said the couple were married between 1995-2011 but had stopped living together in 2000. She is 29 years older than him. Maria Vann said that they met in Hammond, Indiana, but moved to Texas and were married there after Darren Vann enlisted in the Marines. He was discharged from the service, honorably, and held odd jobs in Texas. According to the Sun-Times, the couple split because they were no longer compatible and Darren Vann liked to go out to clubs with friends. She hasn’t heard from him since 2008.

Darren Deon Vann, an alleged serial killer linked to the deaths of at least seven women in northwest Indiana, was transferred to Lake County Indiana Jail in Crown Point around 7 p.m. Monday.
The bodies of six victims were found inside five abandoned homes in Gary. Sources said the victims appeared to have been killed elsewhere and left inside the vacant buildings.
"He was very specific on the locations, very specific about what transpired at each location and how they were concealed," Gary Police Det. Cpl. Edward Gonzalez said.
All seven women found appear to have been killed in the last seven months. According to statements from Vann, he may have started killing up to 20 years ago.

Does anybody else find it odd that the photographers were able to gain access not only to the outside of the homes, but to the INSIDE of the homes so quickly ??
why do you think this could be a possibility? did he live or travel to her area or vice versa?

(CNN) -- A body found in an Indiana lake has been identified as that of Teleka Patrick, the Michigan doctor who's been missing since December, the Porter County Coroner's Office confirmed.
Her body was discovered Sunday in Lake Charles, west of Gary, Indiana, officials said.
The cause and manner of death are still pending further investigation, but are consistent with drowning, the coroner said in a statement Tuesday. An autopsy revealed no trauma, the statement added...

Why a motel? His other victims were found in abandoned homes. Did he kill them there? Or did he kill them elsewhere then move them to the abandoned homes?
I heard a report somewhere that after he killed the one in the motel he put her body in the bathtub, turned the shower on and left.
Ok turning the shower on would cause a housekeeper to turn around and leave. So did he have plans of returning that night and moving her?
