'Shopping cart killer' behind at least 4 Virginia slayings, police say

Virginia police on Friday said they arrested an alleged serial killer who they say is behind at least four homicides in the state since August.

They said the alleged serial killer, Anthony Eugene Robinson, 35, has been dubbed "the shopping cart killer" because of his modus operandi.

Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said he meets victims on dating sites and then at motels.

“After he inflicts trauma to his victims and kills them, he transports their bodies to their final resting place, literally, in a shopping cart. And there’s video to that effect,” Davis said.

Three of the victims identified so far are women; the identity of a suspected fourth victim has not yet been determined due to decomposition, police said.

I go by one of his "dump sites" often if I take the back way home from town. It's behind Lowe's and the Candlewood. Yikes!

and he apparently killed two there. He sounds like a semi-transient worker so he could have been anywhere.
