A traveling carnival worker has allegedly confessed to killing two women and a teenager within an 18-day period in Virginia, according to authorities.
While executing a search warrant on Wright's truck, authorities found Hopson's cell phone, Newman said. On Thursday, when Wright was being interviewed by detectives from Tennessee at the local sheriff's office, he allegedly confessed to killing Hopson and two other female victims, Newman said. Wright allegedly shot and killed Hopson on March 17, Newman said. Wright allegedly told investigators that her body fell out of his truck and down an embankment near a bridge as he was driving and that he placed her body in the river, Newman said. Hopson was reported missing by her mother on March 21, authorities said.
The FBI, U.S. Marshals, Virginia State Police and multiple local law enforcement agencies are assisting in the investigation, Newman said.
