Oakland police arrested a man suspected of torturing and killing his ex-girlfriend, and they believe he may have killed two other people whose bloodstains were found in a torture chamber set up in his home that police likened to the film "The Silence of the Lambs."

Earl Stefanson, a 41-year-old roofer from Oakland, was arrested Tuesday night after police determined he was responsible for the slaying of Leslie Lamb, 36, of San Leandro, said homicide Sgt. Tony Jones.

There, police found a "very dark and frightening" room that Jones compared to scenes in "The Silence of the Lambs." Jones declined to describe the room or disclose all that was found inside.

Police not only found Lamb's blood in the room but blood from two other apparent victims whom police have not been able to identify.
