Police capture suspected serial killer disguised as woman, carrying baby in Brazil - CBS News

Brazilian police said Friday they had captured a suspected serial killer linked to at least 16 deaths since May, who was arrested while disguised as a woman and carrying a baby. He claims to have killed more than four times that number. The suspect was arrested Sunday after a 30-hour police manhunt in a forested area of Paraiba state in northeastern Brazil. He was wearing a dress and long black wig, which police described as a disguise to evade capture. In a statement, they said he had been carrying a baby in his arms. Images and video published by local media, including O Globo, showed the suspect with painted nails wearing a striped dress, a dark wig, women's sandals and sunglasses. Police said the child he was carrying was not related to him. Police did not release details on the baby's condition.
