Prince George's police detectives are looking for more victims of the "East Coast Rapist" in the county after a Connecticut man was arrested Friday who is believed to be responsible for five attacks in Prince George's dating back to 1997.
Officials say DNA links the suspect, Aaron H. Thomas, 39, of New Haven to a total of 12 rapes in four states between 1997 and 2001, including the five girls and women raped in four separate incidents in Prince George's.
Detectives are reviewing the county's unsolved rape cases to see if more victims identify their attacker as Thomas. Now that he is in custody, county police detectives plan to show his photo to at least four other victims of sexual assaults in which DNA evidence was not collected but there were similarities in the manner of the assaults, said county police commander Lt. Col. Gary Cunningham.
