During the investigation into Hanks’ murder, authorities were tipped off by Phelps’ family members that he had allegedly admitted to killing Hanks and at least three other women, according to Aug. 18 court filings by Elizabeth Baker, a Eugene attorney representing Troy Phelps.

Authorities began investigating Phelps in connection with those alleged murders, and cross-checked information about the victims with women who had been reported missing. Based on that investigation, authorities identified the victims as Megan Wendel, Lilly Loftus and Kristin Correa, the filings said.

Little is known about these women. Wendel was reported missing by a family member in July 2022. Her remains were found in February of this year in a remote area near Glide. She would have been 36 at the time.
No information has been released about Loftus and Correa.
