Detectives in Buffalo have announced that the Bike Path Rapist has been linked to an attack, 12 years after he last struck. DNA now links Joan Diver's murder to the case. Detectives and residents alike have been on edge since Joan Diver was killed on September 29, 2006 because of the similarities between her attack and nine other attacks in the Buffalo area. Police say that the Bike Path Rapist is now wanted for three homicides and nine rapes.

Police: Serial Rapist On The Loose

For 20 years detectives in Buffalo, NY have been hunting for a predator. They think his name might be "Dave," they know what his blood type is, and even know about his genetic make-up. What they don't know is who he is.

The man has been dubbed the Bike Path Rapist because many of his attacks have occured on bike paths in Buffalo and surrounding communities. Between 1986 and 1994 he attacked nine women walking or jogging alone. The women ranged in age from 14 to 44. Two women, Linda Yalem and Majane Mazur were killed.

I've got the answer:

Wrangle up a couple USMC hunter-sniper teams to cover the bike path ,
get some satellite or Predator coverage overhead,
and give the gunners a "Weapons Free" ROE.

I bet they are checking records to see who's been behind bars for the last 12 years. Does anyone know if they get DNA samples from guys in prison?

Check the records to see who has been locked away in prison/or hospitalized for the last twelve years and recently released.

The CSI or Law&Order gangs would have caught this guy in one episode.

(DNA proves Buffalo, NY killer/rapist is back)

Huh? The article says, "...DNA he left behind has given detectives the biggest clues in this case. His blood type is O. He is a white man with Native American ties."

I would bet the rapist was in prison for the last 12 years on some other charges and just resumed "business as usual" upon release.
