BOWLING GREEN, Fla. — Convicted serial killer Edward A. Surratt, has confessed to committing four murders in Beaver Township, South Carolina, in the late 1970s and another murder in Findley Township, Pennsylvania, in 1977.
Surratt has been in a Florida prison since 1978 on burglary and sexual-battery convictions. His confessions came after authorities agreed not to press additional charges. They also agreed to move him to better accommodations in South Carolina, where he has two life terms waiting for him, for killing a 66-year-old man and beating and raping the man's wife.
Authorities in Pennsylvania consider Surratt a suspect in at least 18 unsolved murders.
