SUSPECT IN KILLINGS ARRESTED

A smooth-talking drifter suspected of strangling or stabbing at least four women in a cross-country killing spree was captured Monday after leading police on a 100 mph chase.

Glen Rogers, 35, was forced off the road by more than a half-dozen police cruisers after the 15-mile chase near rural Waco. During the pursuit, police tried to shoot out Rogers' tires.

He was taken to a state police station in Richmond, Ky., for questioning.

Rogers is wanted in the slayings of at least four women - three of whom had reddish hair - in California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida in the past two months. Authorities believe he may have committed three other killings in California.

Rogers also is wanted for questioning in the death of a 73-year-old Ohio man he briefly lived with.

The FBI had been expected to add Rogers to its 10 Most Wanted list this week.
