In custody, he promptly confessed to the crime, along with the slayings of six other women in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia, killed since 1971.
After scanning the suspect's record, Lowndes County Sheriff Louis Harper estimated that Marcus might have claimed fifteen victims in his sixteen years of aimless wandering around the South.
A serial killer in 1970’s Alabama, Jerry Marcus, confessed to using charm to make his victims feel safe. He said they didn’t suspect his shy personality was hiding a dangerous soul.
The bodies were found in shallow graves in the back yard of a house occupied until last year by Richard White. Neighbors of White were stunned. A neighbor said the suspect seemed like ''a normal guy'' who would ask him to drink a few beers and ''always had a neighborly handshake when I saw him. Neighbors are freaking out. How would you like to know the man you said ‘good morning’ to everyday is a killer?''
