Is There A Serial Killer in Rocky Mount?

Mo commentary: If you think this is the first serial killer in this area, think again. It's not. (More on this in a future post).  Since efforts here to find the perp or perps are failing, perhaps the local constabulary should partner with those in Gaston County investigating the Ira Yarmolenko murder in order to get nothing done even faster.




Even when they were picked up for drugs or prostitution, nights in jail looming, they called home to let their families know they were OK. Then, one by one, the calls stopped.

Since 2005, nine women who lived at the edges of the poor community in this small North Carolina city have disappeared. Six bodies were found along rural roads just a few miles outside town, most so decomposed that investigators could not tell how they died. At least one of the women was strangled, and all the deaths have been classified as homicides. Three women are still missing.

Police will not say whether they suspect a serial killer, but people in the community about 60 miles northeast of Raleigh do, and they're impatient with law enforcement efforts to investigate the slayings.
