Darren Vann A Possible Suspect In North Carolina Murder 22 Years Ago
(CBS) -- Police detectives in North Carolina tell WBBM they are looking at Darren Vann as a possible suspect in an unsolved murder from 22 years ago.
From 1991 to 1993, Darren Vann was a Marine based at Cherry Point Air Station on the coast of North Carolina.
He was given an "other than honorable" discharge.
Police in the town that borders the Marine base, Havelock, North Carolina, still have a cold case on the books from that time.
"The cold case we have is back in 1992. It was a female by the name of Camille Whalen. And she was murdered."
Havelock Police Lieutenant Brian Woods says investigators have just learned about the Darren Vann case - and that Vann has told detectives in Northwest Indiana he may have left victims in other states.

Now Havelock Police are looking at Darren Vann as a potential suspect.
"It's definitely encouraging news, but you just have to keep an open mind and you have to just look into all the aspects of it and see if it matches with what we have."
Camille Whalen was 25 - a hitchhiker - her body dumped near a baseball field in August 1992. The autopsy said she was strangled and stabbed.
