More than four decades after three women were found strangled in California, a 73-year-old Mississippi man has been charged in their deaths, officials said. In May of 1977, police responded to a motel and found 18-year-old Kimberly Fritz dead, officials said in an Aug. 8 press conference by police and the district attorney’s office.

Four months later in September, officers found 31-year-old Velvet Ann Sanchez dead in a motel, officials said. In the third case, Ventura County deputies responded to a bridge in December of 1977 and found the body of 21-year-old Lorraine Rodriguez, authorities said.

Officers didn’t have any leads so the case eventually went cold. Then in 2023, Ventura County Sheriff’s Cold Case Unit started reexamining the homicides , officials said. Officials uploaded DNA into the nationwide database and got a match for Warren Luther Alexander, a long-haul cross country truck driver from Diamondhead, Mississippi, officials said. In 2022, Alexander was arrested in North Carolina for a 1992 homicide, officials said. “It is the matching of our evidence against the North Carolina one that led us here today,” District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said in the press conference. Alexander has been charged with three counts of murder, authorities said. He is being held in a Ventura County jail without bond. Officials believe there are additional victims both nationally and locally, Nasarenko said.

All three California victims in Ventura were found with ligature marks around their necks, and the victims' autopsies determined they'd been strangled, authorities said at the briefing.

So he killed 4 people?

Fucker probably thought he got away with it.

He was a long haul truck driver, I am sure there were more victims all over.

I think you're right, Nic. There must be a SLEW of them.

Also, RBW you might want to change the title because you have him as 23 years old. It would be quite the feat to murder a bunch of people 20 years before you were even born, but would make a cool movie

It is good they were able to identify him through DNA. Like Nic already said, there likely are other victims.
