CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: A serial killer may be on the loose in Louisiana. Police in Baton Rouge confirmed DNA evidence links the killing of three women to one person, and those cases are unsolved.

We get details from reporter Greg Meriwether of our Baton Rouge affiliate WAFB.

GREG MERIWETHER, CNN AFFILIATE WAFB REPORTER (voice-over): Whoever killed these three women, he's a crafty killer of sorts, because in all three murders, he didn't have to break in to get to these women. It's also important to point out that the killer is getting more violent and perhaps more brave.

Of these three murders, we know for sure that the killer started with his hands around Gina Wilson Green's neck until she stopped breathing, and left her body behind in her Stanford Avenue home.

And then he got more violent with Charlotte Murray Pace. The killer stabbed her dozens and dozens of times, sexually assaulted her, leaving Pace's body behind in a bloody mess in her town home.

There there's Pam Kinamore, who we now know of as his latest victim. We are told the killer sexual assaulted Pam Kinamore, used a knife to stab and kill her. This supposedly after he took her body from her home, and according to deputies, the killer was brave enough to drive his truck out I-10 with Pam Kinamore's naked body in the front seat, this before dumping her body under the Whiskey Bay Bridge.

This serial has gotten to these three women for sure, three murders. We talked with the family of the latest victim, Ed White, Pam Kinamore's brother-in-law.

ED WHITE, VICTIM'S BROTHER-IN-LAW: It's continuing to confirm that this is a serial killer, because as you know, the police were not willing to state that, but I mean, I believe it's obvious at this point that that's what we have going on there.

MERIWETHER: So whatever or whoever this serial killer is looking for, the Stanford Avenue connection keeps popping up. But Pam Kinamore lived miles from Stanford, but there have been some questions she might have done some interior design work on Stanford Avenue. WHITE: That question has come up, and frankly, we don't have her record day (ph), the police that as part of their investigation. And the family does not know. We have talked to family members, and we don't have any knowledge that she had any clients in that area.
