Police Say A 'Serial Killer' Carnival Worker Killed Two Women And Teen Girl In Virginia
Authorities in Virginia say a traveling carnival worker confessed to killing two women and a teen girl over the span of 18 days.
Wright has been charged with three counts of capital murder, three counts of using a firearm in committing a murder, and three counts of concealment of a dead body. According to officials, he allegedly met the three victims through his job as a subcontractor for the James H. Drew Exposition, a carnival that travels up and down the East Coast. After bringing them through as-yet unknown means to his home in Mendota, Virginia, he allegedly killed them.
Following that interview, police obtained a search warrant for Wright's truck, which had been impounded following a crash in March. Inside, they found Hopson's cellphone and used that discovery to obtain a second warrant for his house and the surrounding property.
