Guilty plea in transporting serial killer victim for sex

NEW YORK Akeem Cruz was with Megan Waterman of Maine the night she disappeared from a Long Island hotel in June 2010. He has been identified in some reports as her boyfriend. Waterman's body was later found dumped along a remote beach parkway. Police have since found nine other bodies along the highway.

They suspect a serial killer but have not identified any suspects.

Cruz admitted Wednesday in federal court in Brooklyn that he transported women from Maine to New York so they could meet clients for sex.

Cruz faces up to 4 years in prison. No date has been set.
