The trial for the six other murders may not happen until sometime in 2018, as the state continues to process the gruesome evidence. Howell pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Arizmendia in 2007, and is currently serving 15 years in prison. Police were lead to Howell after his cellmate told them about his "garden" where he buried his victims who all disappeared in 2003, when Howell was working odd jobs in the New Britain, Connecticut area.

Police linked some of the body parts found in the grave to unidentified victims whose bodies were found miles away, stemming from unsolved crimes dating back to 1996, according to the Associated Press. A further search unearthed six more bodies, including a child and a man dressed in women's clothing, The New York Times reported.
