A crime psychologist says he believes a crossdresser found dead in Rocky Mount three years ago likely was the victim of the same killer who claimed the lives of seven area women between 2003 and earlier this year.
The parents of 24-year-old Travis RaRegus Harrison said this week that Rocky Mount police are looking into possible connections between their son's death and the unsolved deaths of seven women, as well as three other missing women. A fisherman and his son found Harrison's naked body on June 25, 2006, discarded in a thicket along the Tar River off East Virginia Street.

Like the seven other victims, Harrison was black, known to abuse cocaine and sometimes traded his body to pacify his addiction.
"The guy matches the profile of all the female victims," Kelly said. "He had the same drug of choice, was out in the same areas around the same timeframe, and he was a crossdresser. I have to believe it was probably the same killer because, for that size population, how many sexual murderers could you possibly have in the same area?"
