Serial Suspect Confesses to Slaying Two Women
A suspected serial killer has confessed to killing two women, bringing to five the number of slayings in the case, police in Baton Rouge said.
Sean Vincent Gillis confessed to slitting the throat of elderly nursing home patient Ann Bryan and to hitting Hardee Moseley Schmidt with his car as she jogged, then strangling her with a wire, authorities said.
The confession came the day after Gillis, 41, was arrested in connection with the slaying of three other women since 1999. Gillis has not been formally charged by the district attorney’s office.
