A Missouri man charged in six deaths in Missouri and Kansas pleaded not guilty to two of the homicides. Perez Reed, 26, appeared via video Wednesday to face charges that he killed Pamela Abercrombie, 49, on Sept. 16 and Carey Ross, 24, on Sept. 19 in St. Louis.
He is also charged with killing two people in St. Louis County and two others in Kansas City, Kansas. Reed's public defender, Brian Horneyer, entered the not guilty pleas for Reed. He said Reed, of Bellefontaine Neighbors, has an extensive mental health history. Reed was arrested in November while he was traveling from Kansas City to St. Louis.
