A series of other murders between 1983 and 1997 have been suspected to have come at the hands of one Great Basin Serial Killer, but the case of only one of them has been resolved: Lil Miss.

Great Basin Murders apbnews.com Staff At least nine dead. Last body found: Aug. 15, 1997 THE HOMICIDES Authorities in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho are investigating the deaths of at least nine women as serial crimes, according to Lt. Mike King of the Utah attorney general's office. King and Provo Police Department Chief Greg Cooper, a former FBI profiling expert, are co-coordinators of Utah Criminal Tracking Analysis Project (UTAP), a project that brings together separate agencies investigating these cases. The majority of the women were killed within the last 10 years, however one case dates to 1983.

Investigators believe there are at least two killers responsible. Some investigators involved believed that the same person was responsible for killing three of the victims between 1990 and 1993. These slayings occurred in Millard and Juab counties in Utah, and in Elko, Nev. There was also a killing in St. George, Utah, in 1991 that was thought to also be linked to this sub-cluster.

However, in March 1999 police arrested the husband of the Juab County victim and charged him with her murder. It's unknown how this links to the other cases, according to authorities.

VICTIMS At least four of the victims have still not been identified. All of the victims were women. Some were hitchhikers, prostitutes or women who frequented truck stops. However, at least one victim was described by police as 'an all-American girl.' More at link. A DESOLATE DUMPING GROUND FOR KILLERS Unknown Victims, Unsolved Murders Plague Great Basin Sept.

7, 1999 NEW YORK (APBnews.com) -- The Great Basin, a vast, arid bowl sprawling between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada, gets its name from an odd geographical trait: Its few rivers find no outlet to the sea. Instead, they dribble into the basin's low spots and evaporate.

Water isn't the only thing that collects in the empty expanses of the Great Basin. Since 1983, killers have found the region's lonely highway interchanges the perfect dumping grounds for corpses.

In the Great Basin states of Wyoming, Nevada, Utah and Idaho, authorities are investigating the deaths of nine women whose bodies turned up near highways that cross the empty scrub land. Vestiges of deadly violence The women were strangled, shot, stabbed.

Many were stripped nude, aggressively sexually abused and assaulted beyond what would be necessary to kill them. Their bodies were found on hilltops, in snowbanks, rivers or desolate expanses of desert. Some were purposefully posed on their backs, arms spread in the shape of a cross, decomposing faces scanning the sky for weeks or months until found by a deer hunter or trucker. Years after the crimes, identities of three of the slain women are still unknown.

Note that a victim was found as early as 1972 matching the victim profile of the Great Basin Murder victims (which, per Dr.Strangelove who got this ball rollings, would make Eaton 26 when the 72 murder ocurred): ^^^^ possibly from Wyoming. Eaton resided in Wyoming. Victim found in july 1972 also in a cross position. Victim found in july 1974 murdered and then burned in Elko County.

Maybe she is also related? In all of the articles I have seen about the Great Basin Murders it will highlight a particular case or two and then say that they are linked to 7 or 8 other murders with the total typically being 9. That still leaves me still questioning if there is a comprehensive list. I have not found one but if someone has I would really appreciate a link to it. I have attempted to start my own here and would appreciate any input/corrections anyone could give: 1) Star Valley Jane Doe, Elko County, NV 1972 (not typically included but as DaisyChains and Drstrangelove have demonstrated it is a related case) 2.) Arroyo Grande Jane Doe, Henderson, NV 1980 3.) Lisa Marie Kimmel, CO, MT, WY 1988 4.) Barbara Kaye Williams 1991, Salt Lake City, UT (sometimes included but I'm unsure why) 5.) Woman Found Dead, St. George, UT 1991 (I confirmed with NamUs that she was identified but I haven't found a name) 6.) Fox Park Jane Doe, Sheridan County, WY 1992 7.) Bittercreek Betty, Sweetwater County, WY 1992 8.) Shafter Jane Doe, Elko County, NV 1993 9.) Amy Wroe Bechtel, Lander, WY 1997 10.) Tonya Teske, Ucon, ID, 1997 So, did I find all of them here but just need to exclude Barbara Kaye Williams but then I'm missing one because Star Valley Jane Doe isn't typically included?
