Nation IN BRIEF : MISSISSIPPI : Body Hunt Fails; Evans Back in Jail

Donald Leroy Evans, who claims to have killed dozens of people, was returned to jail in Gulfport, Miss., after leading authorities on a fruitless search for bodies in Arizona. The search turned up no trace of the remains of three women Evans said he buried in a spot about 40 miles north of Phoenix in 1985, said Capt. Rick Gaston, Harrison County warden. Evans, 34, of Galveston, Tex., is awaiting a preliminary hearing on charges that he murdered a homeless 10-year-old girl who was abducted from a park Aug. 1. He pleaded guilty to a federal kidnaping charge in that case and could draw life in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 24.
