: Legal Pad | LADNA evidence links 72-year-old man to decades' worth of murders
By Richard Binder
Police in Los Angeles said the DNA of a 72-year-old Los Angeles insurance adjuster has matched evidence found at five murder scenes spanning over two decades. John Floyd Thomas may be connected to around 30 killings and numerous sexual assaults through Southern California in the 1970s and 1980s.
Police arrested Thomas in March after investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department linked his DNA to the unsolved murders of Ethel Sokoloff, 68, in 1972, and Elizabeth McKeown, 67, in 1976. He is currently being held in the Los Angeles County Jail.
Raoul Hutchens, a lawyer in the office of the Los Angeles County Public Defender who is representing Mr. Thomas, declined to comment on his client's situation.
