A 67-year-old man who previously served prison time in the murder of a 6-year-old child, pleaded guilty to a 2001 rape after investigators linked him to the scene of that crime through a pair of dentures he left behind.

The dentures were part of a sex assault kit backlog that wasn't tested until recently, though authorities may have been able to identify Thomas Maupin sooner -- his name was printed on the inside of the false teeth.

Is an undentured criminal anything like an indentured servant?

After killing a child he is out of prison? Unbelievable. Too bad he can’t get the death penalty for rape.

Why did they let him out of prison after he murdered a 6 year old?

The reason it is called a “toothbrush” is because it was invented by a Kentuckian. Otherwise, we’d call it a teethbrush...

Full disclosure: I live in KY. We can laugh at ourselves.

Thanks for this..... I always wondered why it was so difficult to brush just one individual tooth at a time and now I know I don’t have to! :^)

Look, I’m glad he is back in prison - but 16 year crime?

What happened to the statute of limitations. Only murder is not effected by that law.

Yet another case of the face fitting the crime. Both not trustworthy and looking the part of a child rapist.

Real life crime investigation isn’t at all like CSI.
