Serial Killer May Be Targeting Women In Daytona Beach
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- FBI agents are now assisting Daytona Beach detectives in the investigation into several unsolved homicides that may have been committed by the same person, Local 6 News reported.

Sources confirmed to Local 6 News Tuesday that FBI agents are helping Daytona Beach authorities profile the person or persons involved in the slayings of three women in three months.

The city's most recent homicide was 35-year-old Iwana Patton from Holly Hill, whose body was found over the weekend in some woods near Williamson Boulevard and Mason Avenue. An anonymous caller led police to Patton's body but refused to give any other information to the dispatcher.

Julie Green and Laquetta Gunther were killed in December.

"Investigators are keeping a lot of the information in reference to the crime scene as well as the victims very close to the chest right now as they investigate to see if there is any new information we can get," Daytona Beach police spokesman Al Tolley said.
