SAN FRANCISCO (February 11, 2012)—Acting on information from a death row inmate, Northern California authorities planned to focus on an abandoned well Saturday in their search for possible victims of the notorious "Speed Freak Killers," in the 1980s.
Wesley Shermantine, who was convicted of murdering 16-year-old Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler, led authorities to an area believed to be the burial sites of two victims.
Searchers found a partial human skull and bones Friday, buried on a remote property in Calaveras County.
A day earlier, searchers found a skull and bones at another site in the area about 60 miles south of Sacramento.
Authorities say Shermantine and childhood friend Loren Herzog killed Wheeler as part of a methamphetamine-fueled spree in the 1980s.
The two were arrested in 1999.
Herzog has since committed suicide.
Shermantine says Herzog may have buried as many as 10 bodies at the well.
