SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Montana man who was arrested after DNA linked him to the death of a Spokane woman in 1986 is being investigated for at least three other unsolved slayings
Gary L. Trimble, 62, of Lincoln, Mont., faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Dorothy E. Burdette, 62, who was found dead in High Bridge Park on Christmas Day 1986.
Spokane police are looking for any connection between Trimble and the unsolved slayings in 1986 and 1987 of Ruby Jean Doss, 27; Mary Ann Turner, 30; and Kathleen DeHart, 37. The Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday that the women suffered blows to the head, most were sexually assaulted, and all were strangled.
