A 52-year-old man was arrested for two cold case murders that happened in the 1990s, but police say there could be more victims.
A long-haul truck driver was recently charged in the 1996 and 1998 cold case murders of two women from Kansas City, Kansas, and investigators are looking into whether he could be linked to others.
On Wednesday, the department said it had identified suspects in 11 cold cases, detailing four in a news conference as a"sign of what's to come." Investigators recovered items at the crime scene and sent them to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. "He felt that, this confession, he needed to get this off of his chest, and although it's not comforting to the family, he said he wanted the family to know this before he passed," Oakman said.
At the time of the murder, detectives discovered that a teenager had been visiting her mother for Thanksgiving and left the area two days after the baby girl was found.In 2022, detectives were able to locate the teen, who is now in her 60s, and obtained DNA, which linked her to the infant.
