Colorado police say a man serving life for the murder of a teenage girl has confessed to leaving a trail of corpses in Korea and the U.S. that would make him one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. The man in his 50s said his first victim was a fellow serviceman in the U.S Forces Korea, where he served in the early 1970.
Louisiana-born Robert Charles Browne had told local authorities he killed his fellow soldier in a brawl over a Korean prostitute and claims to have killed another 47 people in the following two decades before being arrested in 1995.
Police say the claim is credible. Browne would strangle or stab his victims, mostly women between 13 and 26 whom he met on the street or in bars, and chop up their bodies before disposing of them in a bag. He was married and divorced six times, and all his ex-wives are still alive, police said.
