The hunt for the man suspected in the deaths of three women and a 13-year-old girl in Memphis, Tennessee, is over.

From the first indications therefore, it appears to be a multiple murder and suicide.

The body of Mavis Christian Jr., 52, was found inside a white Chevrolet Malibu.

Investigators were looking for him after determining that the death of a woman on Saturday evening was linked to other murders that occurred the same day.
