A serial killer is
at work in Spokane
SPOKANE,
January 6 - A serial killer is at work in Spokane.
That word Tuesday from a joint
task force investigating a series of unsolved murders
dating back to 1984.
“The investigators with the
homicide task force have concluded with extreme
likelihood that four unsolved homicides are attributed to
the same person or persons,” according to task force
spokesman Captain Doug Silver.
Those four cases include the
murders of Shawn Johnson, Darla Sue Scott, Laurie Wason
and Shawn McClenahan.
All four victims were shot - and
all were found dumped along roadsides in rural areas of
the county. Police say the women were known to frequent
areas with high rates of prostitution and drug use.
In all, investigators are looking
into twelve unsolved killings since 1990. Not all of
those deaths are related to a single killer claim
authorities.
Police will not announce publicly
whether they have a suspect.
