WORCESTER, Mass. -- Prosecutors have named a man described as a "person of interest" in the unsolved murders of several women who had been prostitutes in Worcester.
Alex Scesny, a 38-year-old man from the central Massachusetts town of Berlin, is currently being held on an unrelated rape charge. The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester, citing court records, reports that Scesny has also been linked by DNA to the 1996 killing of a prostitute from Fitchburg.
A spokesman for the Worcester District Attorney's office, Tim Connolly, confirmed that Scesny is considered a person of interest in the deaths of several women who investigators believe may have been the victims of a serial killer.
The remains of two of the women were found in 2003 on the grounds of a private school in Marlborough. The skeletal remains of another woman were found in nearby Hudson in 2004.
