Published October 20, 2014 - FoxNews.com

[...]
"The suspect Hammond arrested for the Motel 6 murder is an admitted serial killer," McDermott wrote. "The suspect gave up the location of a body in Gary that was confirmed found where he said it would be."

The flurry of grisly discoveries began when Hammond police responded to a call of an unresponsive person Friday evening at a Motel 6 and found the strangled body of a woman identified as Afrika Hardy, 19. As part of the investigation into her death, police executed a search warrant on a home in Gary, where they also took the person of interest into custody, Hammond Police Lt. Richard Hoyda told the Chicago Tribune in an email.

[...]
A spokesman for the coroner's office said Monday that Hardy and Jones died of ligature strangulation. The corner was conducting autopsies on the other bodies. "We're actually doing the forensic work, carefully identifying with clothing or any tattoos," the spokesman said.

Oklahoma cases solved: DNA tests show Foss Lake remains are 6 missing people (Uh... that seems like it would be pretty obvious)
Those named are:
Missing from Sayre, and found in blue 1969 Chevrolet Camaro with a white top,
Jimmy Allen Williams, 16, , who had bought the used Camaro six days before he and his friends went missing.
Leah Gail Johnson, 18, and
Thomas Michael Rios, 18, who went missing in 1970.
Williams and his friends had planned to attend a football game the night they went missing. Two rifles were found, rusted and corroded, in the Camaro.

The other remains matched the genders and ages of three passengers in a green Chevrolet who went missing in 1969.
John Alva Porter, then 69,
Cleburn Hammack, 42, and
Nora Marie Duncan, 58.
They were last seen when their car was "given a push" to help get it started, according to a July 1969 newspaper article published in Oklahoma.
