"Pharmacist Michael Kerkowski's short run as one of northeastern Pennsylvania's biggest drug dealers ended in a shallow grave on a hillside littered with bodies."
"The 37-year-old Kerkowski had been missing a year when his corpse was discovered June 5, buried along with the remains of his girlfriend behind the home of a one-time bank robber he had once called his best friend. The couple had been strangled."
"Farther down the hill on the ex-convict's property, investigators also found the charred bones of at least three more people, whose identities are unknown," the AP reports here.
