Twenty-four year old James Brown is accused of meeting the women online and then killing them.
He had met them on a website known as "Back Page", an escort version of craigslist.
On December 19, of 2011, two bodies were found in a trunk of a car.
They belonged to Renisha Landers, twenty-three, and her cousin Demesha Hunt, twenty-four.
Six days later, on December 25, two more bodies were found in the trunk of a car that had been on fire.
Those bodies were eventually identified as being Natasha Curtis and Vernithea McCrary, known escorts.
Since three of the four had profiles on Back Page, the police labeled them the "Back Page Murders".
Brown had already been in custody, since May, for charges of mutilating the bodies and setting the fire.
Over the weekend, police were finally able to gather enough evidence to charge him with their murders, as well.
