Prosecutor: Man charged with 1 murder says he killed 16

Source: AP

WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) — A man who is accused of killing a New Jersey man he says sexually abused him in childhood, and who is a person of interest in the deaths of his ex-wife and three others in New Mexico, has said he is responsible for a total of 16 slayings, prosecutors say — though authorities have yet to corroborate his claim.

Sean Lannon, 47, said he was responsible for the killings in New Jersey and New Mexico — that he had killed his wife and others, including “11 other individuals,” NJ.com quoted Alec Gutierrez, an assistant prosecutor in suburban Philadelphia’s Gloucester County, New Jersey, as saying during a detention hearing Friday.

“He admitted to killing a total of 16 people ... 15 being in New Mexico and one in the state of New Jersey,” Gutierrez said.

Authorities allege in court documents that the admission came in a phone call to a family member who told Gloucester County investigators that Lannon expressed remorse.

I’m concerned that the authorities in New Jersey and New Mexico are using him as a second Henry Lee Lucas (A convicted multiple murderer in Texas) who “confessed” to Dozens of murders that he probably didn’t commit.

The four he killed here included his ex wife and he didn't just kill them, he dismembered them and left them in their car in the airport parking lot.

Bad crimes out west are worse than anything I ever saw in DC, NY, or Boston. Killers there go for quantity, out here they go for overkill.
