HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — New information has surfaced about Pa State Police’s conversations with convicted Serial Killer Edward Surratt who is serving multiple life sentences in a Florida jail.
Surratt had admitted to the killings of three Beaver County residents in the late 1970’s along with 3 others in the state and Pennsylvania State Trooper Max DeLuca says Surratt also discussed five to seven other slayings here in the state. Trooper DeLuca said yesterday that police in those areas have been alerted. He obtained those details in March from Surratt, who is serving life at a state prison in Raiford, Florida. DeLuca says Surratt implicated himself in the deaths of six people in four Pennsylvania slayings during 1977 and 1978. He’s not expected to be prosecuted for the six Pennsylvania killings. DeLuca says Surratt wouldn’t disclose how many people he killed in Pennsylvania.
