Police: Serial rapist stalking Miami
Eight assaults near neighborhood stalked last summer
MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- A serial rapist has been linked to eight sexual assaults, including three on young girls, in a neighborhood just a few miles from one that was terrorized by another serial rapist this summer, police said.
DNA tests conducted in recent days connected three other rapes with the man who raped two girls, ages 7 and 8, on November 28, police said Friday. He is also suspected in three other sexual assaults and an attempted attack. The victims range in age from 7 to 37.
All of the attacks took place in a concentrated region of Liberty City, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Miami.
In September, police arrested Reynaldo Elias Rapalo, 32, and charged him with raping seven women between the ages of 11 and 79 in Little Havana.
