Donnie Blankenship, a suspect in the slayings of five people in St. Louis, Mo., last year, entered the U.S. marshal’s office in the Federal Courthouse in that city and said he wanted to have his bond lifted, Assistant U.S. Atty. Frederick Buckles said. Blankenship, 26, of Hanley Hills, was jailed a short time later. Police began searching for Blankenship on Friday after a grand jury indicted him and another man on five counts of murder each in the slayings at a National supermarket Sept. 4, 1987. One suspect, Marvin Jennings, 27, of Overland, was arrested Friday.
