A 47-year old truck driver on trial for murdering two Toledo women, confessed to killing another two women. He also told authorities that he was involved with killing a fifth woman.
In exchange for "copping" a guilty plea, Dellmus Colvin will not face execution. He was instead sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole at the Lucas County courthouse on Monday.
the assistant prosecutor, Tim Braun, said, "He finally came clean about a number of other killings he had been involved with."
The victims' -- Jackie Simpson and Melissa Weber -- bodies were both discovered between 2000 and 2005 wrapped in blankets and hidden in secluded areas. Both women were alleged prostitutes. Colvin was matched to the murders through DNA analysis.
Colvin admitted to the additional murders Sunday night to police and prosecutors. Melissa Weber's mother Theresa said she did not object to Colvin skipping death row because she wanted the confessions to come out for the family members' sakes.
Weber told reporters, "Those parents and families needed to have closure. It would have been hard to live without knowing what happened to your child."
