Hattiesburg American - www.hattiesburgamerican.com - Hattiesburg, Miss.: "Investigators searching for answers in the possible serial killings of seven women believed abducted from truck stops in several Southern states have again questioned a man imprisoned in Mississippi on an unrelated murder charge.
A Texas investigator visited Mississippi last month to interview state inmate John Robert Williams, officials said. Investigators from a multistate task force also came to Mississippi to question Williams and his girlfriend, Rachel Cumberland, two years ago.
Six of the victims were known truck-stop prostitutes whose nude or partially clothed bodies were found in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi between 2003 and 2004.
Williams, 30, is serving a life sentence at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman on an unrelated murder charge.
Williams pleaded guilty in 2004 to the kidnapping and shooting death of Nikki Hill, a Neshoba County woman that he and Cumberland met at a casino. Cumberland, 37, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the case and is serving a 20-year sentence.
Lt. Col. David Shaw, director of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, said no other cases have been officially connected to the two, according to a www.clarionledger.com article."
