Authorities are investigating a pair of similar murders in Indianapolis that happened within days of each other in the same area last week.
Although there are “a number of commonalities” between the two killings, no evidence directly indicates that they were related, the Indianapolis Police Department said in a news release . But authorities have still made note of the similarities in both cases, including the fact that both victims were White women in their 50s who were killed “in the same manner.” Their bodies were found on the same road, and each had ties to the city’s far east side, according to police.
Police have not shared details about how either woman was killed, nor have they identified a suspect or suspects despite characterizing both cases as homicides.
At a Friday news briefing, which the police department said was held “out of an abundance of caution,” Acting Police Chief Chris Bailey asked that anyone with information potentially connected to either case contact the department, CBS affiliate WTTV reported.
