Ressler created a profile which asserted that the killer was one man, not seven black, not white single, not well-educated, and probably a low-ranking military man at the fort in his late twenties. Soon afterward, following instructions in yet another call from the "Forces of Evil", a second black woman's body was found at a rifle range at Fort Benning. Her body was discovered in early April 1978. Gail Jackson, the supposed hostage, had been murdered five weeks before she was found, and before the first letter was sent. The letters and calls were a hoax intended to divert attention from the real killer. The letters were followed by phone calls. Jackson was also known as Brenda Gail Faison and other aliases. The first letter was followed by others eventually, a ransom demand of $10,000 was also made to keep the alleged hostage, Gail Jackson, alive. The seven white vigilantes wished to be known as the "Forces of Evil", and wanted the police chief to communicate with them via messages on radio or television. The Stocking Strangler was believed to be a black man, and this had been widely reported at the time. The handwritten note purported to be from a gang of seven white men who were holding a black woman hostage and would kill her if the Stocking Strangler were not apprehended. The disparate groups of victims were linked by a letter to the local police chief written on United States Army stationery. In addition, the bodies of two young Black sex workers had been found outside of Fort Benning nearby. Several elderly white women had been killed by a perpetrator nicknamed the Stocking Strangler. In 1978, Columbus, Georgia was undergoing a wave of murders of women. He was executed by the state of Georgia in the electric chair. He was convicted of murdering three of them, and not brought to trial on the fourth. William Henry Hance (Novem – March 31, 1994) was an American serial killer and soldier who is believed to have murdered four women in and around military bases before his arrest in 1978.
