Milwaukee Serial Killer Caught

BadgerBlogger is reporting that the Milwaukee Police Department has arrested 49 year old Walter Ellis in connection with a string of Milwaukee killings dating back to the mid 1980's. [JSOnline confirms the report.]



I wrote about the case of the so-called "North Side Strangler" and his seven victims twice. Keep in mind MPD didn't hunt him for twenty years. It was only recently that DNA linked cold cases and revealed the pattern. Some additional good came of it too; as they continued to look for more victims other cases were solved by running the same evidence.

A press conference is scheduled for this evening. Good job MPD!
