Milwaukee Police Investigating Serial Killer

MILWAUKEE -- The search is on for a serial killer as investigators add a new victim to the list of those slain by the unknown killer.

Police said Monday that besides the six deaths already linked to the killer, they were investigating 24 more cold cases with common threads.

On Wednesday, they added a seventh victim who was found dead in 1995.

Florence McCormick was found strangled to death in the 600 block of West Locust Street in 1995.

Her case relates to others that date back to 1986. Those slayings include those of Deborah Harris and Tanya Miller -- two deaths that happened just a day apart.

The case also includes the 2007 death of Ouithreaun Stokes. Investigators said the slayings mostly happened in the same general area and that all but one of the victims was a prostitute. All but one of the victims was strangled, as well. - WISN News Story
