Missing women list linked to Olathe killer grows
Investigators add two more names to a list of missing or dead women tied to John Edward Robinson Sr. who is charged with five deaths and holds a $5 million bond. The updates raise the count of connected cases to 11, as a mother and daughter who moved to the area in the 1990s are named. Robinson appeared in court briefly and answered yes to questions about understanding the proceedings and his preliminary hearing date of October 2. He faces multiple counts across Kansas and Missouri, with defense plans to plead not guilty and a large volume of evidence to be disclosed to his lawyers. The case has drawn national attention since barrels containing women’s bodies were found on his property and in a storage locker in Raymore.
