CINCINNATI -- A man charged with murdering two women in other states has been charged with killing an 81-year-old woman in her Covedale apartment last March.
Cincinnati Police today filed an arrest warrant for Willie James Hodges, 44, (pictured, left) for the rape and murder of LaVern Jansen. Police say Hodges followed Jansen from the Glenway Pony Keg on Glenway Avenue where she went to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket, and killed her in her nearby apartment on Clevesdale Drive.

Hodges is in jail in the Pensacola, Fla., area, awaiting trial for the murder and rape of a 58-year-old woman in December 2001. He's also been charged with the murder and sexual assault of a 66-year-old woman in Sumter County, Ala., in November 2001.

Prosecutors here say they'll have to wait until Hodges goes to trial in Florida and Alabama before they get a crack at him. Hodges' trial in Florida should begin in the spring of 2005.

Police said several witnesses provided corroborating statements implicating Hodges in Jansen's murder.

The victim's family posted a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and an additional $30,000 if that information leads to a conviction.
