Back in 1992-1994 three very nasty rapes were committed in the greater Sacramento area. At least one of them was no vicious even the broadcast news will not give any details. It is odd (at least to me) in that, a few years back, just before the statute of limitations ran out the District Attorney filed a criminal complaint against the DNA from the samples. The California Supreme Court later upheld this move in an unrelated case.
Yesterday they cops in Decatur, Georgia arrested Mark Manteufell, 59, a former suit with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and a former criminal justice lecturer at Sac State. Assuming the news got it right (not always safe) this was done via an indirect family match thru one of those commercial DNA web sites.
Since it is unlikely that these are the only three crimes committed the cops are contacting other areas in which Manteufell lived for unsolved rape cases. It is common for the feds to transfer their employees as they promote, especially suits.
It is unknown at this time if he is going to fight extradition from Georgia.
