Authorities look at travels of trucker accused in 4 slayings

Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said in a news release that Rembert is a “serial killer” and that Rembert’s activities as a trucker are still being investigated.

The indictments in Rembert’s current cases include 25 charges: 10 counts of aggravated murder, six counts of kidnapping, four counts of rape, two counts of aggravated robbery and one count each of having weapons under disability, grand theft and gross abuse of a corpse.

Rembert is expected to be arraigned Friday after being indicted this week on multiple counts of aggravated murder in the slayings of one person in 1997 and three people this year.

Prosecutors say Rembert served six years in prison after being convicted of voluntary manslaughter for killing Dadren Lewis in December 1997. So far, we know he’s purposefully executed five people.

‘Robert Rembert is a serial killer.

The last killing attributed to Rembert came on September 20 when he gunned down his cousin and Nietzel, a longtime family friend, at their home on East 140th Street, according to court records. In May 1997, Rena May Payne, also from Cleveland, was found by a bus driver in a locked employee bathroom at a bus turnaround station.

Prosecutors also say he strangled Rena Mae Payne, 47, a colleague at Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, and dumped her body in a restroom, in 1997.

Rembert lived in the home and allegedly shot both Ms Nietzel and his cousin in the head.

Rembert couldn’t be contacted for comment while in custody Tuesday, and it was unclear if he had an attorney representing him.

Hall’s body was found in a field on Cleveland’s east side.

Rembert, 45, was arrested for Hall’s murder in Medina County on September 21st and is being held in Cuyahoga County Jail on a $1 million bond.
