NEW ORLEANS — A serial killer--possibly a police officer--has murdered 24 people, mostly prostitutes, since 1991 and dumped their naked bodies near swamps, law enforcement officials said Friday.

Authorities have suspected for about a year that a serial killer was on the loose in the New Orleans area but didn't announce the investigation until Friday, when they appealed to the public for help.
