| Inmate accused of raping, killing four women over seven years |
 Los Angeles County prosecutors filed murder charges Friday against a 51-year-old prison inmate, alleging that he raped and killed four area women between 1986 and 1993.
The charges mark the latest effort by police to close dozens of cases of women slain in South Los Angeles and the vicinity during the 1980s and 1990s, killings that went unsolved for years.
A team of Los Angeles Police Department detectives have scoured hundreds of cold cases in the last few years, comparing old evidence against advanced DNA databases to identify suspects.

| Ian Brady told to 'put up or shut up' over Keith Bennett Moors Murder claims. |
 The Moors murderer Ian Brady has been challenged to "put up or shut up" over his claims that he is ready to guide police to where he buried one of his victims, Keith Bennett.
A solicitor acting for Keith's mother, Winnie Johnson, has held two meetings with Brady at Ashworth High Security Hospital, where the serial killer has been held since he and his accomplice Myra Hindley were convicted in 1966.
Mrs Johnson, 74, has repeatedly pleaded with Brady to reveal where he buried her 12-year-old son, the only one of Brady's five victims whose body has not been found.
Speaking for the first time about the meetings, which took place last year, David Kirwan revealed that Brady had told him: "I will show you the way." He also said: "I will direct the police."

| Tears P.I. walks away from case |
 Private eye Ray Michalko will honour the RCMP request to cease his probes into one of the unsolved murders in the Highway of Tears cases.
The Surrey-based private detective made the decision last week after his Toronto lawyer received a long-awaited letter of response from RCMP Staff Sgt. Bruce Hulan, who issued the original desist advisory in April.
“We asked the RCMP to discuss this with Crown Council,” Michalko said. “Staff Sgt. Hulan softened his approach, but he still said in his view my actions could constitute charges of willfully obstructing justice.

| Accused Serial Killer Back in Florida |
 TALLAHASSEE, FL -- The man accused of murdering at least three people -- including a Florida woman -- is now in the hands of Florida law enforcement.
Leon County Sheriff deputies transported Gary Michael Hilton from Georgia to Tallahassee Friday afternoon. He's charged with the murder of Cheryl Dunlap, kidnapping and grand theft.
"He has fought coming to the state of Florida for some period of time and his efforts have now proved futile," said LCSO Sheriff Larry Campbell. "We've sat patiently waiting for him to go through the legal process in North Carolina and Georgia and now it's our turn."

| 'Boys Don't Cry' killer in death row dilemma |
 TECUMSEH, Nebraska (AP) -- For more than 10 years, John Lotter has faced death in Nebraska's electric chair for the grisly 1993 triple murder that spawned the movie "Boys Don't Cry."
But the state Supreme Court made that sentence uncertain for Lotter and the nine other men on death row in its February ruling that electrocution -- Nebraska's only means of execution -- is cruel and unusual punishment.
Lawyers involved in those death-row cases are now asking if an inmate who is sentenced to die in the electric chair can be executed by another means.

| Crematorium bosses refused Hindley |
 CREMATORIUM bosses in Ipswich refused to cremate Myra Hindley, new documents have revealed.
Finding a crematorium was a major stumbling block for authorities making contingency plans in the event of the Moors Murderer's death, because of fears over costs, negative public reaction and the huge press interest.
Papers made public at the National Archives in Kew also give details of a number of Hindley's hospital stays and the procedures which had to be followed as her health problems continued.

| Des Plaines' first serial killer up for parole |
 Mark Allen Smith is the first known serial killer to strike in Des Plaines.
He is not as well known as John Wayne Gacy, whose crimes on the Northwest Side of Chicago involving boys -- including a Des Plaines teenager -- made headlines in 1978.
But Smith, who also grew up on Chicago's Northwest Side, brutally murdered at least seven women, said Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Richard Rozkuszka. One of Smith's victims was Janice Bolyard, a chemist at the De Soto Chemical Plant, 1700 S. Mount Prospect Road, Des Plaines.

| Did one Chicago-area killer create another? |
 Years before his own killing spree began, Brian Dugan survived a chance encounter with another notorious murderer -- John Wayne Gacy.
Dugan was a young teen when he said the stranger molested him after he accepted a ride while walking to a grocery store in Lisle.
That's the story he's told, as early as two decades ago, to at least three people. He's hazy on a few key details, though, and some authorities are skeptical about it.

| Court records say alleged predator admits sex with 2 victims |
 PHOENIX (AP) - According to court records, an alleged serial predator admitted to Mesa police that he had sex with two women who later turned up dead, and that he ran over 1 of them after dumping her naked body in the middle of a street.
However, the records show that accused killer Trent Christopher Benson did not admit killing the women.
The records were sealed when Benson was arrested, but a Maricopa County Superior Court judge granted The Arizona Republic's request to reveal them to the public.

| Contemptibles’ collectibles |
 Ten years ago, convicted killer Jeremy Strohmeyer was one of Nevada’s biggest news stories, with coverage as aggressive as his crime was heinous: The teenager raped and murdered a 7-year-old girl in a Primm casino bathroom, and the case lived on in the media until Strohmeyer was sentenced to die behind bars.
Once the verdict sank in, Strohmeyer slipped into a prison cell and out of the collective consciousness. So what a surprise to see him again, older and online, posing shirtless in a Polaroid. How interesting to learn that his photograph, his poems, his prison envelopes and his porn collection are all available to you — for a price.
Somebody is selling Strohmeyer’s stuff, maybe with help from the murderer himself.

| Accused serial killer to be tried at Tahoe |
 PLACERVILLE — The man believed to be responsible for the murders of at least three teenage girls will stand trial in South Lake Tahoe after a ruling Friday by a Placerville judge.
Joseph Michael Nissensohn, 57, could face the death penalty for the alleged 1980s slayings of a South Lake Tahoe girl and two others from Monterey County. No trial date has been set.
After hearing arguments from both sides — the prosecution had fought to have the trial held in Placerville, while the defense argued for Tahoe — El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister ruled in favor of the defense on multiple grounds.
