OZARK, Mo. - A southwestern Missouri man has been charged with four counts of murder in the killing of three people, including a pregnant woman and her fetus.

Brian Williams, 25, of Sparta, appeared in court Tuesday and was jailed without bond.

Investigators allege in a probable cause statement that Williams shot 27-year-old James Marsh; Marsh's pregnant girlfriend, 26-year-old Casey Maples; and 40-year-old Christina Winden at a mobile home in Ozark, Mo. Williams also is accused of killing Maples' unborn child that a pathologist says was 7 or 8 weeks' gestation.

Authorities haven't revealed a motive. The probable-cause statement says Williams told investigators he had no remorse about killing Maples.
