PAMPA, TEXAS (AP) -- A man has been indicted in Texas over the death of a woman whose murder was linked to a string of truck stop slayings in several states.
Thirty-two-year-old John Robert Williams was indicted Thursday on a charge of capital murder in the death of Vickie Helen Anderson.
Her body was found in Gray County off Interstate 40 in the Texas Panhandle in 2003.
She was last seen at a truck stop in Sayre, Okla.
A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Jessica Brown, says Anderson's death has always been considered one of several involving women taken from truck stops whose bodies were later found in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi between 2003 and 2004.
Six of the victims were known truck-stop prostitutes.
Williams remains incarcerated in Mississippi on separate charges, including murder.
Authorities have previously named Williams as a suspect in the murders.
It's unclear if Williams has an attorney.
