Police have named a man who died in 2013 as the serial killer responsible for the deaths of three women in the late 1980s.
Indy StarOn Jan. 2, 1990, a clerk working in the Days Inn in Columbus, Indiana, was attacked in a similar manner as the previous three victims, but she was able to escape her attacker and survived, later giving authorities"an excellent physical description of the suspect and details of the crime," Fifield said. The clerk was sexually assaulted and stabbed in the attack, the Indy Star reported.
The primary factor that linked the four cases together was the proximity to Interstate 65. Numerous pieces of forensic evidence were collected and preserved to include DNA, clothing, hairs, fibers and ballistic evidence from the cases, allowing investigators to match ballistic evidence linking the Gill and Gilbert murders and to later match DNA evidence linking the Heath and Gilbert murders to the case of the surviving victim, Fifield said.
