Police in Indianapolis are investigating the killings of two women whose bodies were found around 150 yards away from each other in recent days, and who were killed in a similar manner, officials said Friday.
“There are similarities in these two cases,” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department interim Chief Chris Bailey said — although he said investigators have not proven they are connected.
The bodies of Shannon Lassere and Marianne Weis were found days apart on Indianapolis’ far east side.
Lassere’s body was found Saturday morning on N. Mitthoefer Road, across the street from where she lived, and Weis’ body was found on the same road on Thursday morning, according to police and NBC affiliate WTHR of Indianapolis.
They were found around 150 yards from one another, police Capt. Roger Spurgeon, commander of the department’s homicide branch, said at a news conference.
