Body found in backyard of southern Indiana murder suspect

Posted: Updated:
FLOYD COUNTY -

The discovery of a woman's body in a southern Indiana backyard has police considering whether or not they have a serial murderer in jail.

Police dug up the body of 35-year-old Stephanie Kirk in a backyard in New Albany in Floyd County. An autopsy shows she was strangled to death but the coroner isn't sure how long Kirk has been dead.

Kirk was reported missing March 25th and her body was found late Friday in the backyard of 54-year-old William Gibson.

Gibson is being held without bond at the Floyd County Jail in connection with the death last week of 75-year-old Christine Whitis of Clarksville, and the death of a 44-year-old Florida hairdresser whose body was found in Clarksville in 2003.
