Serial killer suspect case moves to Bloomington

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (CNN/WISH) - The search for more victims of a suspected serial killer has moved to Bloomington.

The case centers on William Clyde Gibson.

Gibson is charged in the deaths of two women in New Albany , and police say they found the body of a third woman in his backyard .

Investigators on Thursday brought Gibson to Bloomington, where they combed over a wooded area near the Monroe County Airport. Detectives received a tip that someone dropped off a body in the middle of the field just off Airport Road. That call, they said, came from Gibson.

Investigators dug through brush, and a cadaver dog tried to sniff out possible remains. Detectives did not find a body Thursday.

Searchers were clear the remains are not connected to missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer . Beyond that they would not say much more.

“Can’t really speculate on who they are not,” said Monroe County Sheriff Detective Brad Swain.

The area searched appears to be a seldom-traveled path, but neighbors we talked to say the hidden area gets frequent unwanted visitors

“Down here in this cornfield, hunters go in there, you would see tracks going in behind the trees so you couldn’t see them,” resident Ron Kupper told 24-Hour News 8.
