ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis-area man already imprisoned for two murder convictions is now under investigation for other killings of women, due in large part to letters he penned while behind bars.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that police now believe that 49-year-old Theodis Hill of Jennings killed at least five women — three in St. Louis and two in a small Arkansas town, Forrest City, where he went apparently went to help relatives fix up a home.

Police say Hill has written letters to St. Louis detectives and a prosecutor in Arkansas, admitting to killings in both states. Police believe some of the victims were killed after doing drugs with the killer.
