The 33-year-old tree trimmer is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Shawna L. Sowers, 30, and Lisa A. Crow, 36. He is a suspect in the slaying of Kimberly D. Rodgers, 29.
Police have said all three were prostitutes.
Byers’ Christians wife of a 19-month marriage to Fuhr ended in divorce, a breakup she blames on his cocaine use.
She was granted custody of their son, who is almost 2 years old.
One of his victims, Crow had been strangled and was last seen alive with Fuhr in the area where her body was found Thanksgiving Day behind a business at 2270 S. High St.
Sowers another woman was found dead Nov. 18 at a construction site off Groveport Road. She had a broken neck.
Detectives yesterday said physical evidence will link Fuhr to Sowers’ death, but they did not elaborate.
Rodgers was found strangled Nov. 7 in a field off Groveport Road, not far from where Sowers’ body was discovered 11 days later.
Yesterday, detectives searched Fuhr’s rented mobile home in the Old Trailer Court, 3737 E. Main St., Whitehall, and removed eight bags of evidence.
Police think they also have evidence in a pickup truck Fuhr borrowed from his employer the day before Thanksgiving.
The truck was found abandoned with a flat tire, and Crow’s body was found nearby next, to a trash bin.
