A DNA match has led to a Florida man prosecutors suspect is the “pillowcase rapist” responsible for numerous sexual assaults of women in the Miami area during the 1980s.
Robert Koehler, 60, was arrested over the weekend in Brevard County and was being held without bond Thursday after his transfer to a Miami jail. He faces charges in one assault though authorities say as many as 25 victims could be involved.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said it will take time to locate victims and determine if there is enough evidence to prosecute all of these cases. The rapes occurred between 1981 and 1986.

WTH?
WTH????
gone are the days where you get away with stuff.....good or bad,there will be no secrets.....
Excerpt:
“He was convicted in a 1990 rape in Palm Beach County and sentenced to probation, which he later violated and served 120 days in jail.”
How in the world does one get probation for rape? And then only 3 months for violating that probation.
That caught my eye too. Probation? 120 days?.....for rape????
How in the hell did that happen?
1981 to 1986. Why did he stop? Did he?
Hillary was probably his lawyer, right? /sarc>
I suspect that they are combing evidence lockers for cold cases that preserved something that can be tested for DNA now that have a match and know he is a serial rapist.
I particularly like this snippet
According to an arrest warrant, investigators obtained a DNA sample from Koehler's son following an unrelated arrest. That sample was linked to one of the assaults, leading detectives to Brevard County where they followed Koehler to obtain DNA samples from objects he touched.
Done in by his son. Whoops!
