N.C. MAN CHARGED IN 10 DEATHS

A man whom police described as a crack addict strangled his neighbors and other women he worked with during a killing spree that lasted nearly two years, police said Sunday after charging him with 10 counts of murder.

Henry Louis Wallace, 28, was arrested Feb. 4 after an alleged theft at a mall but was released. He was arrested again Saturday. Police said four of the 10 murders he is charged with were reported between his release and Saturday's arrest.

Police recovered nine of the 10 bodies before Wallace was charged, and information provided by Wallace led them Sunday night to the 10th body, a woman who had been missing since June 1992, said Capt. H.C. Huneycutt.

Wallace had prior arrests in South Carolina and Washington for sex offenses, burglary and larceny, Charlotte police said.

Police said Wallace settled in Charlotte three years ago. - Associated Press
