Police link 2 more deaths to Baseline Killer
East Valley Tribune ^ | 28 JULY 2006 | Gary Grado

Phoenix police on Friday attributed two more deaths to the body count of the Baseline Killer. Sgt. Andy Hill, police spokesman, said detectives have been going through previous homicide cases to look for links to a brazen criminal whose spree since August has included homicides, rapes and robberies.

Detectives knew late Thursday that forensic evidence from the slayings of two women Feb. 20 are definitively linked to the serial killer, Hill said.

Killed were Romelia Vargas, 38, and Mirna Palma Roman, 23. They ran a lunch wagon that makes the rounds to construction sites.

Hill said at this point there is no evidence other offenses were committed against the women.

"It does appear to be a brazen crime," Hill said.

He said the women were killed in a desolate area at 91st Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road near newly built homes and a construction site.

There were no witnesses to the crime, which occurred between 5:30 and 7 a.m., but police believe there were people in the area who might have seen or heard something, and they are urging them to come forward.

Oh my gosh, I remember this! I'm in the area of 51st Ave and Baseline...this was not more in my area than the other ones!

I'm praying they find both these maniacs soon. Praying hard.

There's someone here in Phoenix who is responsible for lots of rapes and quite a few murders..a serial killer. We actually have 2 right now that remain on the loose. The "baseline killer" who first struck along Baseline Rd, then a "serial shooter" who not only shoots at people randomly from his car, but has killed quote a few people. Scary.
