Antwan Pittman appears at a preliminary hearing at the Edgecombe County Courthouse after being charged with the murder of Taraha Shenice Nicholson.

Authorities say they need more hard evidence to bring additional charges against 31-year-old Antwan Maurice Pittman, the man investigators believe killed at least five Rocky Mount women since 2006.

Warrants filed in Halifax County earlier this month to search Pittman’s former mobile home spell out the state’s case against him so far.
