Police in Alberta allege a now deceased serial killer and sexual offender is responsible for the deaths of at least four young women in the 1970s.

And Alberta RCMP say the suspect may be linked to even more unsolved homicides.

The force’s historical homicide unit will share details on the cases Friday morning at a press conference in Edmonton.
