Family, Friends Remember Women Slain In Indiana

Family, friends remember women slain in Indiana Seven women have been found dead this week in northwestern Indiana, one in a motel and six in abandoned houses in Gary. Police say Vann has confessed to all seven killings and hinted that there could be more, stretching back two decades. Family and friends of three victims reached by The Associated Press on Tuesday remembered the women as caring, loving family members who will be missed. [...] she was godmother to her friends' children, including Conway's son and daughter. Batey was the proud mother of a 2-year-old son who didn't wait for her longtime boyfriend to propose. Cullom thought the state was wrong to take her granddaughters but was pleased Batey had found happiness with Clinton. Clinton said he's frustrated that Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said the only missing person report the city had received was for Jones, because he and Cullom filed one for Batey. Townsend said her daughter was trying to get a job and support herself and "fell into a trap" when she apparently turned to sex work. Police say the discovery of Hardy's body at the Motel 6, where they say she went as a prostitute, led to police arresting Vann and uncovering the other bodies. Townsend said her daughter died as a hero in a sense and said of the prostitution allegations that: People don't understand people's circumstances.
