Indiana slaying victims
In this 2014 file photo, Family members hold a vigil in the 3000 block of Flournoy Street in Chicago for Afrikka Hardy, who was killed by Darren Vann.
Darren Deon Vann, a convicted sex offender named as the suspect in the serial killings of seven women in northwest Indiana -- and in perhaps other slayings across the country -- allegedly left his victims in vacant houses in some of Gary’s most blighted neighborhoods, authorities said.
