we feel we can prove,' said Hyland, who declined to discuss possible motives behind the four slayings. Police also have been looking into Spahalski's possible involvement in several other killings dating back to the early 1990s, prosecutor Ken Hyland said. Irizarry's decomposing body was found soon afterward in the basement of a four-apartment house in the city where Spahalski lived. Robert Spahalski, whose twin brother was imprisoned for murder in 1971, walked into a police station two months ago and confessed to killing Vivian Irizarry, 54, who resided in an adjoining apartment, and Charles Grande, 40, a landscape company owner beaten to death with a hammer in the suburb of Webster in October 1991. When Dix asked Damita how she knew the man, her daughter said they had a mutual female friend.ДЄ 51-year-old man suspected of strangling a female neighbor in November and bludgeoning a suburban businessman in 1991 was charged Tuesday with those slayings as well as the strangling of two other women in the early 1990s. A few days later, he came by their house on King Street looking for a friend of Damita. Hickman said she had heard 'nothing at all' from police since Spahalski's arrest.Дamita Gibson, Dix's daughter, lived off West Main Street at that time, though her body was found, in January 1991, behind a building on Jay Street.Дix said she first took note of the man she believes was Spahalski when she saw him talking to her daughter at a convenience store on West Main Street. Armstrong's mother, Dorothy Hickman, said Thursday that she, too, had noted the news stories about Spahalski but hadn't connected him to her daughter's case because police initially said they were looking only 10 years in the past. Armstrong lived at 509 Lake Ave., across the street from Spahalski's apartment building. Jobson's nude body was found nearly two months later in a grassy area off Lyell Avenue police said she had been stabbed to death much earlier, and her body was moved there.ДЄnother woman, 24-year-old Moraine Armstrong, was found strangled to death in her apartment on Dec. Spahalski lived in that building at the time. Victoria Jobson, 30, disappeared from her apartment at 512 Lake Ave. That rang a bell as well В— in a signed statement Spahalski gave police on Tuesday, he said he turned up the heat in his Webster victim's home to speed decomposition and 'throw the police off.'

Jones also noted that the heat had been turned 'all the way, to the maximum' in her sister's apartment. It was not clear Thursday if he lived there at the time Greatheart was killed. Spahalski lived in the same apartment building at several points, according to publicly available records, most recently in late 2004. I just told my husband, I'm going to call the police tomorrow to see,' said Rita Jones of Rochester, whose sister, Hortence Greatheart, 45, was found strangled in her apartment at 345 Lake Ave.

Alexander said law enforcement officials were exploring Spahalski's possible involvement in still more unsolved crimes, in Rochester and elsewhere. Spahalski also admitted his involvement in two other city homicides, Acting Police Chief Cedric Alexander said, though he would provide no details. He had walked up to the front desk at Rochester police headquarters Tuesday and said he had killed someone.

Spahalski, 50, was charged with second-degree murder on Wednesday for the slaying of a Rochester woman a week ago, and for the 1991 bludgeoning death of a man in Webster.
