Earlier killings allegedly admitted
From Times Wire Reports

In court documents, the prosecutors cite the confessions to the earlier killings as they argue to seek the death penalty against Joseph Edward Duncan III, who was indicted last week on charges of kidnapping two northern Idaho children and killing one of them.
