Confessed killings linked
to two unsolved slayings
United Press International
MONROE, La. — Police
investigators tracing the steps
of confessed mass killers Hen
ry Lee Lucas and Ottis Elwood
Toole linked the men Thurs
day to a pair of previously un
solved slayings.
The accusations raised to
59 the number of murders
police believe were committed
by the drifters. The men have
confessed to 200 killings in at
least 17 states.
“Following their leads will
make you mentally and phy
sically exhausted,” said Ray
Hardison of the Williamson
County, Texas, sheriffs de
partment. “The mental strain
is much greater though.
“This makes Jack the Rip
per and Charles Manson look
like a Sunday school picnic.”
About 100 officers from 18
states compared notes on the
men and discussed details of
crimes in hopes of determin
ing whether unsolved homi
cides in their areas could be
attributed to them.
Two additional cases were
added to the “secured” case
list, said Lt. Joe Cummings of
the Monroe police depart
ment. But he declined to re
veal details of the kill which
states were involved.
“Both of them talk very
freely,” Cummings said.
“They are not stupid. They
have problems with their
memories sometimes, but
they’ve committed so many
crimes that’s understandable.
“They want to get it off
their chests,” he said, trying to
explain the list of confessions
the men have made since they
were jailed. “They wanp the
police, they say. They have no
thing to lose, they say.”
An officer from South
Carolina said Lucas and Toole

women in both Columbia and
