Sacramento television
station CBS-13 has received a letter it says is from serial killer Wesley
Shermantine claiming he knows of sites where the bodies of additional victims
were dumped.
The station reports that in a letter with
Shermatine's signature from San Quentin State Prison, the convicted killer says
there are two locations where his accomplice, Loren Herzog, disposed of two
victims.
Shermantine says he hasn't revealed the locations
because he hasn't been paid $33,000 promised by bounty hunter Leonard
Padilla.
Padilla, who recognized Shermantine's handwriting in
the letter, says he's working to establish a trust account before paying.
Padilla says San Joaquin County sheriff's officials have a copy of the letter.
They didn't immediately return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment
on it.
Shermantine and Herzog, known as the "Speed Freak
Killers," are suspected in as many as 20 murders. Herzog committed suicide last
month after being told Shermantine was cooperating with authorities.
Authorities have been searching a farm in Linden
based on information provided by Shermantine.
