Officials in a northwest Indiana city say they plan to demolish five abandoned homes where a former Marine strangled and hid the bodies of seven women. The (Northwest Indiana) Times reports that Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson says the razing of the homes in Gary should provide “solace” for the families of Darren Vann’s victims. Vann was arrested in 2014 and pleaded guilty last year. He’s serving life in prison without parole after accepting a plea deal that spared him the death sentence.
