Cops: serial killer Darren Vann killed for $300, crack

GARY, INDIANA -- Accused serial killer Darren Deon Vann told cops that a hit man paid him $300 and gave him two eight balls of crack cocaine to murder an Indiana woman. So far, the suspected serial killer who preyed on sex workers in Chicago's southern suburbs has been charged with two slayings. Cops say Vann was asked to "disappear" Anith Jones, 35  -- her body was found last Saturday.
The Chicago Sun-Times said: But the document does offer a grim account of how Vann groomed Jones for weeks to build trust, lured her to a Gary home under the guise of pay-for-sex, and then strangled her with a cord.
It also details how Vann stuffed her body in a garbage can and drove it to a vacant home and hid it in the basement under a pile of teddy bears and tires.
