(CNN) -- The investigation of a man suspected in the deaths of at least seven women in northwest Indiana could expand to other states and stretch back decades, authorities said.

Up to this point, Darren Deon Vann has only been charged in the death of 19-year-old Afrikka Hardy, whose body was found in a Motel 6 in Hammond over the weekend, Hammond Police Chief John Doughty said.

But officials in the neighboring city of Gary say there's much more to this case.

"The initial murder investigation led to the confession of six other murders committed by Vann with those bodies being recovered in the city of Gary in abandoned structures," a statement said.

All of the bodies in Gary were found within 5 miles of each other.

I read about this today. Freaking insane!! How could he have been killing for so long and it went unnoticed. Many women were missing before they found this jerk. How disgusting. I always say the chances of a sex offender changing are just too slim to risk it.

If I'm not mistaken, his latest victim was some sort of prostitute so my guess is that past victims were transients and or prostitutes as well. Plus he dumped the bodies in abandoned houses so that reduces his connection with his victims.
