The southeastern Illinois man known as the "Truck Stop Serial Killer" has been found guilty of the 2007 murder of an Indiana woman.
73 year old Bruce Mendenhall of Albion in Edwards County Illinois is a former truckdriver.
He was brought to Marion County Indiana from Tennessee to stand trial for the killing of 31 year old Carmen Purpura of Indianapolis.
She was last seen in July of 2007 near Mendenhall's truck parked at a truckstop off Interstate 465 south of Indianapolis.
Her body was discovered four years later at the side of an interstate highway in Kentucky.
The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.
Mendenhall is still suspected in a Birmingham, Alabama murder and remains a suspect in several homicides in other states.
