Three Navajo cross-dressers have been killed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, over the past four years but authorities don't know whether the crimes are related.
All three victims were beaten to death and their bodies were found in the same part of town. Two of the victims were found just a couple of blocks from each other.
The latest victim was Teri Benally, 42, whose body was found early Saturday. Just a month prior, Fredrick Watson, 32, was found dead only three blocks away.
In January 2005, Ryan Shey Hoskie, 23, was found beaten to death.
