Illinois Trucker Linked to Missing Woman
(2008-09-17)
(wsiu) - Authorities say they've linked an Illinois truck driver accused of killing at least four women in three states to a Nashville (TN) woman reported missing in June 2007.
Nashville police said yesterday (Tuesday) a sample of Latisha Yvonne Milliken's DNA matched blood found in Bruce Mendenhall's truck.
He's not charged in the case. Police say Milliken was last known to be homeless and is still considered a missing person.
The 57-year-old Mendenhall, from Albion, Illinois, is charged in the June 2007 shooting death of Sara Nicole Hulbert, whose body was found at a truck stop along interstate 24 in Nashville.
He's also charged with killing three other women in Tennessee, Indiana and Alabama.
