Police believe an alleged serial killer whom they've dubbed the "shopping cart killer" may be responsible for the deaths of four people in Virginia.
Police in Virginia said they believe an alleged serial killer whom they've dubbed the "shopping cart killer" may be responsible for the deaths of four people -- and possibly more.
Authorities said Friday that a suspect who was previously charged with the murders of two women, whose bodies were found in a lot in Harrisonburg in November, is believed to be connected to the deaths of two more people whose remains were found this week in a wooded area of Alexandria.
"We're here today to talk about a serial killer -- and that is a phrase that I've used sparingly in my three decades in this profession," Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said during a press briefing.
"He preys on the weak and preys on the vulnerable," Davis added. "Our shopping cart killer does unspeakable things with his victims, and it's our collective duty and responsibility to bring justice and closure to all of our communities."
