73-year-old Warren Luther Alexander was extradited to California from North Carolina, where he is awaiting prosecution for a 1992 cold case killing.
VENTURA — A 73-year-old man has been charged in the strangulation deaths of three Southern California women in 1977 after cold case detectives obtained a DNA match, authorities said Thursday, adding they believe there could be more victims.
Alexander’s case was assigned to the county public defender’s office. A telephone message was left at the office seeking comment on the case. Kimberly Fritz, 18, was found dead in the city of Port Hueneme on May 29, 1977. Velvet Sanchez, 31, was found dead on Sept. 8 that year in the city of Oxnard, followed by Lorraine Rodriguez, 21, on Dec. 27 in an unincorporated area.
