Crimes

While many have been convinced that other assaults took place by the same man,[2] only three have been successfully linked by DNA:[3]

  • September 9, 2013 at 4:20am[4]
  • December 10, 2013 at 9:15pm[5]
  • January 8, 2014 at 4:30am[6]

Suspects eliminated

  • Robert Hill - Despite Hill being a convicted serial rapist, detectives from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department ruled him out and announced that he was not connected to the series of rapes.[7]
  • Kenneth Anderson - Victims of the I-80 Rapist were convinced, when shown Anderson, that he strongly resembled their attacker. However, Anderson gave DNA and he was cleared as a suspect in the rapes.[2][8][9]
