No Match for DNA - Rape in Conn

West Hartford Police: DNA Evidence On Rape Victim Gets No Match

October 29, 2010|By KIM VELSEY and CHRISTINE DEMPSEY, kvelsey@courant.com

Evidence taken from a woman who was raped on Fern Street Thursday morning does not match any DNA in the Connecticut database, including DNA from a man wanted in a series of rapes on the East Coast, according to police.
"It was not a match for any other cases in the state," said West Hartford Police Chief James Strillacci.
"That guy is not our guy," he said, referring to a man known as the East Coast rapist, who has committed 17 rapes over 13 years, including several in New Haven and Rhode Island and many in southern coastal states.
The DNA test results were returned two days after the woman was grabbed from behind during an early morning run and raped in the bushes in front of a home on the residential street, police said.

Police were asking Tuesday for the public’s help in locating a man wanted in connection with a spree of violent sexual assaults in Flushing.

The fourth attack to fit the characteristics of the series of crimes took place just last week, months after the first incident, according to police.

All of the assaults occurred late at night or early in the morning and targeted Asian females in their 20s and 30s, police said.

The assailant, wanted for approaching all four of his victims from behind and sexually assaulting them before fleeing, is described as a 5-foot-5, 140 pound, 30-year-old Hispanic man with black hair, according to police.

The first incident took place at about 10:10 p.m. Sept. 22 at the intersection of 28th Street and 34th Avenue. The 37-year-old victim received injuries to her head and face, police said.

........Armed with that information, a DNA sample from the killer and sophisticated testing methods not available in 1993, investigators from the cold case unit are renewing their pleas for people who were there the night she died to come forward.

The reinvigorated effort is welcome, said Elena Sergie, Sophie's mother, who along with family friend Leslie Hunter planned to travel to Fairbanks this weekend to attend an annual memorial service for Sophie and other victims of unsolved murders.

"She needs closure. She needs closure," Hunter said in a sometimes tearful interview in their Anchorage condo. "I live with her, and she's hard to live with sometimes."

Rapists assaults another young girl in Phoenix

His weapon is a knife; his target, young girls on the way to or from school. Phoenix Police believe a series of three sexual assaults that occurred in November 2010 and again yesterday, April 25, 2011 were committed by the same suspect. The attacks span an area bordered by Baseline Road to Southern and 19th Avenue to 7th Street. A number of schools are located throughout the area.
Yesterday’s attack was on a 17 year-old girl who was walking to school around 7 a.m. in the area of 7th Street and Baseline Road. The earlier attacks in November 2010 involved 10 and 12 year-old girls. In each case, the suspect approached the girls on foot, produced a knife and then forced them into a vacant house where they were sexually assaulted.
