(Lowell, IN) - The killer of three women in Northwest Indiana more than 30 years ago has been identified.  Harry Greenwell was the Interstate 65 killer based on a combination of DNA, genealogy and historical research, according to Indiana State Police. 

Authorities said the man spent a lot of time in prison during his lifetime and twice escaped.  The women, ages 24 to 41, were robbed, sexually assaulted and shot at motels in the late 80’s.

Authorities are looking into the possibility he killed other women along Interstate 65.  Police said Greenwell was in Iowa when he died of cancer at age 69 in 2013.
