LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The man who told Indiana police he killed seven women now faces a second murder charge.
Darren Vann has been charged in the death of Anith Jones. Her body was found under teddy bears and tires in the basement of an abandoned home in Gary, Indiana.
Police say Vann was hired to kill Jones by someone who wanted her silenced because of a legal matter. For now, police are not saying who that person is. But they do say Vann was offered $500 and drugs to solicit Jones for sex online, then strangle her.
Vann appeared in a northern Indiana court yesterday on charges of murdering 19-year-old Afrikka Hardy.
But he refused to answer the judge and was held in contempt, delaying that hearing one week.
