SAN ANTONIO – A 54-year-old truck driver from San Antonio was charged with murder in connection with the beating death of a prostitute outside of Dallas.
Police said that Kenneth Dunn picked up Stephanie Williams, 43, at a truckstop outside of Dallas in February.
Dunn then fatally beat Williams and dumped her body in an industrial area in east Lubbock, police said. About a week later, Dunn was arrested and charged with murder and is being held on $500,000 bond.
Police said that five other prostitutes have been found dead in the Lubbock area over the past dozen years, police said. Dunn, though, isn't being ruled out by police as being connected in those cases, but he hasn't been charged in any of them.
Dunn worked for a company out of Lancaster, but lives in San Antonio on the ciyt's Northwest Side. Neighbors told KSAT 12 News that Dunn only stayed at his home for a week or so at a time between long hauls.
