Serial killers often travel to find their victims, so the police have a hard time connecting the cases. Of course, it's also likely that the police didn't work too hard to find black men who were reported missing.

It's going to take a long time to dig up all the bodies, piece them together, look for identifying characteristics, search for clothing, possessions, or any other such evidence in the area, go through old records, collect DNA samples, compare them with possible living relatives, etc. etc. etc. It's important that everything be done carefully.
