Darren Vann, a convicted sex offender from Gary, will appear Wednesday before Lake Superior Judge Diane Boswell to face murder charges and other counts in the strangulation deaths of 19-year-old Afrikka Hardy and 35-year-old Anith Jones.
Hardy's body was found Oct. 17 in a Hammond motel. Jones' body was found a day later in an abandoned house in Gary.
Vann refused to speak during an initial hearing in the Hardy case a week ago and was cited for contempt.
Authorities are still trying to identify three of the women found in abandoned homes in Gary.
