Billy Ray Richardson was arrested for the killings of Beverly Cruse, Debra Cruse and Kari Lenander in Los Angeles and the 1995 killing of Trina Wilson in Inglewood.
A man was arrested for his connection in four murders dating back to 1980 after local authorities used new technology to connect the pieces.
His identification came about on a combined effort from several law enforcement agencies which included the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Inglewood Police Department, the Fort Worth Police Department and help from investigators in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
"Investigative and forensic work over decades connected these murders through DNA and linked them to suspect Billy Ray Richardson," police said.
