Lucas is a suspect in at least 77 murders across the country, and his onetime companion, Toole, is believed to be responsible for 66 killings, authorities said. Clemmons said the pair has acknowledged involvement in numerous slayings, but was unable to give a precise number. "The estimates keep changing," as the two talk to more investigators, Clemmons said.

Davis police investigator Mark Safford said Lucas has been tied to the 1977 knife slaying of Elizabeth Mary Wolfe, 27, whose body was found in her Davis apartment two days before she was to have begun teaching at a Woodland school for deaf children. Safford said much of the law enforcement officials conference focused on Lucas, ho underwent extensive interrogation in Texas. Sacramento Sheriff's Lt Ray Biondi also said Lucas was linked to an April 1982 killing of Lo riano Cuevas in Sacramento, whose body was discovered in a burned-out van.

Jerry Clemmons, assistant director of the state attorney general's law enforcement division, said this week that Toole and Lucas "are firmly linked to six murders" in Riverside, Davis, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Humboldt and Imperial counties. Clemmons said California investigators have also linked Toole and Lucas to 14 other killings in the state since 1975. He did not elaborate. Clemmons made the statements at a gathering of 150 law enforcement officials from nearly 100 agencies, who convened in Sacramento for an unprecedented two-day seminar on Lucas and Toole.

Lucas, 47, and Toole, 36, have been linked to scores of killings in the United States, Clemmons said.
