ADAMS, Mass. (AP) - Authorities are searching an area of western Massachusetts as part of an investigation of unresolved cases linked to a man convicted of two killings.
Berkshire District Attorney David Capeless said Monday investigators are following up leads related to Lewis Lent. Police from Massachusetts and New York state will be concentrating over the next several days in the Glen area of Mount Greylock in Adams, which was not previously searched.
Sixty-five-year-old Lent is serving life without parole for the 1990 killing of 12-year-old Jimmy Bernardo of Pittsfield. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in New York for the 1993 slaying of 12-year-old Sara Anne Wood of Litchfield.
Lent also confessed to the 1992 killing of 16-year-old Jamie Lusher of Westfield. The remains of Sara and Jamie haven't been found.
