One of Cali's finest.
Where did they get his “discarded DNA” that I keep hearing about in the news?
*Shudder*
DNA can be easily collected when a person discards a cup or bottle they have been drinking from.
Glad he didn’t transplant to my state.
His capture is like finally pinning down Jack the Ripper or The Zodiac Killerand alive to boot!
Sure love to hear how they finally it all together.
How queer, he’s a defendant but no where in this article is he branded merely a suspect. Any other attack with a perp apprehended on scene and they play nice and pussyfoot around calling murderers (including the one in Toronto) “suspects”.
Feh.
It chillingly illustrates how easy it is for such “creeps” to become officers and do nefarious things during their tenure.
Quite a few sexual sadists have been uncovered working at the TSA.
And for the record my post is not a defense of the guy, but I wouldn’t want to see the prosecutors blow their case just as Manson’s defense team tried to say he couldn’t get a fair trial when Nixon proclaimed his guilt.
Yeah... normally spokesfolks on the popo are a BIT more reserved than this. Now he can say they called him all these mean names in public. Are they trying, subtly, to throw it? Rather than be embarrassed about how a creep could creep in?
Come on boys. Hollyweird is waiting to profit off of all of this misery.
Ditto for cigarette butts.
“”DNA can be easily collected when a person discards a cup or bottle they have been drinking from.””
I had been wondering the same thing and then it clicked in when I read this article...If he’d been under surveillance, I can see how they may have picked up something with his DNA.. I don’t know if he was under surveillance.. Lived in both Sacramento and OC at the time of these attacks..so it’s all coming back now..
Assuming they have got the right person, this is good news. It provides a measure of justice for the victims and their families.
It seems like an unusual case in a number of respects. The number of sexual assaults committed greatly outnumbered the number of murders, and some attacks involved other crimes. He apparently was fired from his police job for petty theft. Then he apparently went dormant for almost 30 years. Perhaps law enforcement can learn something from his case.
It occurs to me that the era of very prolific predatory serial killers may have been encompassed only a few decades of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Human nature doesn’t change, and there are always some people with evil intent. Circumstances and technology do change.
The availability of automobiles and the changes in social mores in the 60s enabled solitary predators to roam and select vulnerable victims.
The development of information technology in the 1990s, including DNA analysis, ubiquitous video cameras, and electronic credit card records has made it difficult for predators to accumulate as many victims before they are caught.
Same here. I was stationed at Sacramento in the USAF then. My wife was terrified to be alone in our apartment when I was scheduled four on and three off 12 hour night shifts.
That’s a shock. Never heard of a dirty cop before.
That’s the gang leader from Reservoir Dogs.
I don’t know if you have the time but your post makes me think of the case of LT Billy Fields of KY.
It was the featured on ID Discovery show Unusual Suspects I think it was Season 6 Episode 4 called Brute Force.
If you have On demand to watch it free with Xfinity, or pay 2.00 to see the episode it’s worth it

Its horrifying and most people didn’t even know about this case.
This man was a homicide detective became lieutenant was a murderer and corrupt as the come. He destroyed evidence in a murder investigation because he was the actual murderer and rapist of a young single mother.
he was protecting drug dealers and just a dirty cop.
I am curious as to how his name became known to the police in the last week or so. He was completely off the radar before then.
