“What we witnessed at this crime scene is something I would wish on no one. Having to tell the family they could not see their own daughter is really hard,” said Sheriff Burnis Wilkins.

Locklear was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, concealment of death by disturbing/dismembering human remains and altering/destroying evidence.

“These horrific crimes shouldn’t be happening at all but to have three women brutally killed in our county at the hands of a man within the last 10 months is appalling," Wilkins said. "These families need prayer but we also need action from the courts to remove these men from the general public. No woman should tolerate a man physically abusing them.”
