Case Story |

Police: Serial Rapist On The Loose |
|
| |
For 20 years detectives in Buffalo, NY have been hunting for a predator. They know what his blood type is and they even know 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 occurred on bike paths in Buffalo and surrounding communities. From 1986 to 1994 women in Buffalo lived in fear of this predator. He always attacked women and teenagers walking alone. In an eight year span police say the Buffalo Bike Path Rapist raped nine women and killed two of them.
Linda Yalem, was a sophomore at the Unversity of Buffalo when she was killed on Septmber 29, 1990. Majane Mazur left behind a five year-old daughter when she was killed in 1992. Then after one more attack in 1994, the attacks stopped. Until 2006.
On September 29, 16 years to the day after he killed Linda Yalem, the Bike Path Rapist struck again. Joan Diver, a stay-at-home mother of four was found murdered alongside a bike path. The Bike Path Rapist was back..
With each haunting attack, detectives have been able to find out more about this serial rapist and murderer. Now detectives are hoping that AMW viewers can help them solve this case.
The Attacks
Detectives say that the rapist is very patient and waits for the right time to attack, rather than the right victim. He attacks his victims from behind and strangles them with a rope or a wire.
Several times he has strangled his victims until they were unconscious and then dragged them into wooded areas where he raped them. The Bike Path Rapist also uses strips of duct-tape and white medical adhesive to tape his victim's eyes, noses and mouths shut. All ten of the attacks have occurred in the morning between May and October on every day except Sunday. |

|

The Bike Path Rapist left DNA at nearly all of the crime scenes so police have been able to find out a lot about him.
His blood type is O.
He is a white man with Native American ties. His genectic make up most closely resembles one of a Hispanic man.
Between 1992 and 1994 he lost the ability to produce sperm, either through a vasectomy or a medical condition.
Police also know a lot about the the Bike Path Rapist from what victims have been able to tell him. He once said that his name was "Dave" and that he had just gotten out of jail for raping and killing a woman. The suspect has worn different types of clothing in his attacks, including a gray jogging suit, blue jeans, a red t-shirt and a blue flannel shirt- jacket. He has also carried a duffel bag and worn a fanny pack. Police think that the Bike Path Rapist may have had medical or military training. |
