Thirty years ago Wednesday, the massacre of six girls and one woman at La Cruz de Alajuelita above San José, Costa Rica set off a chain of gruesome killings that remain unsolved.
A serial killer targeting impoverished women living on the streets – often prostitutes and drug addicts – is believed to have struck again after the body of a 18-year-old woman was found in an abandoned lot near the Children's Museum in San José.
Costa Rica police arrested a suspected serial killer early Wednesday morning in Hatillo, a southern San José suburb. The man is suspected of killing seven homeless women since April.
