Indianapolis - Police arrested a man Thursday they believe is a serial killer who says he killed women here in Indiana and in four other states.

56-year-old Bruce was arrested near Nashville, Tennessee at a truck stop where they found the body of a woman two weeks ago. Investigators say Mendenhall still had blood on his hands and what they call other incriminating evidence.

Lt Kevin Kelly, is a detective with the IMPD Homicide Branch. “(He) admitted, I guess, to being involved in four or five other homicides involving truck stops and prostitutes.”

Back when I owned a slew of trucks I’d occasionally deliver a load and of course get fuel and/or take a break at truck stops. Prostitutes at truck stops are referred to as “lot lizards“. It was rare to be in a truck stop and not have one come pounding on your door, and at times they would even cruise the lots in cars attempting to attract business over the CB radio.

That was over 20 years ago, I guess the oldest profession is still working the lots.
