St. Louis County plans hearing into jail suicide of suspected serial killer 

St. Louis (AP) -- The St. Louis County Council plans to hold hearings next month into how a suspected serial killer managed to hang himself in the county jail.

Maury Troy Travis used bedding in killing himself June tenth in the jail at Clayton, three days after officers arrested him in the deaths of two St. Louis area prostitutes.

On Monday, authorities said Travis has been linked to the deaths of 12 women, with as many as six more yet to be found.

In the wake of Travis' suicide, County Executive Buzz Westfall has suspended two corrections officers and a jail supervisor for violating jail policies.

The first hearing is set for July ninth.

Hopefully they will discover what happens so they can do it again.

suspected serial killer

My comment is about criminalistics (NOT a racial comment). This suspected serial killer
was not your "usual suspect"...he was African-American; most commonly serial killers are Caucasian.

most commonly serial killers are Caucasian.

And I for one have no problem with profilers who use this when investigating a crime - a lesson some liberals need to learn...
