CHARLESTON, West Virginia - Police in West Virginia seem to have quite the case on their hands: a man killed by a woman he attacked in her home may have been a serial killer himself.

Investigators now believe 45-year-old Neal Falls may be connected to murders in three states.

Falls was answering an online ad for an escort, police said, when he showed up to a Charleston, West Virginia, home.

The woman, who wants only to be known as "Heather," answered the door.

She said Falls, armed with a gun, asked her: "live or die?" Then he started choking her.

"When he strangled me, I grabbed my rake, and when he laid the gun down to get the rake out of my hands, I shot him," Heather said. "I grabbed the gun and shot behind me."

Heather ran out of the house and flagged down a neighbor, who called 911. The neighbor said she "had to defend herself," and she had "cuts and stuff all over her."

There is no substitute for a gun when a serial killer shows up at your door.

Obviously, serial killers shouldn’t carry guns because their women would-be-victims would just take them away and shoot them. It’s just common sense.

She says she hit him with the rake she had in her hands and he laid his gun down to take the rake away from her and she reached around behind her back, grabbed the gun and sent him to his maker.

I believe that serial killers have always been with us but until mass communications were common, no one was able to tie them all together.

Probably.

If you confined yourself to travelers it would not be hard to do.

Workable if you live in a fairly large city.

I was thinking more along the lines of a market town.

If you varied when and who you took it is doubtful they would figure it out unless they found the bodies.

the media will point to this as one is more likely to be killed by their own gun.
