Suspected serial rapist arrested in connection to second California cold-case murder.
A former Stanford University employee was arrested in connection to a cold case murder from the 1970s this week, just months after genetic genealogy linked him to another decades-old slaying.
Taylor vanished while hitchhiking home from a friend's house in Palo Alto, California, not far from the Stanford University campus, on March 24, 1974. She was found strangled to death on the side of a nearby highway the next day. "Based upon the evidence that we have -- based upon how these investigations the unraveled, based upon his past and everything that we saw -- we believe that this was sexually motivated," Assistant San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Rothaus said at a press conference."I can't comment too much on the evidence that caused us to believe that."
"They've done this difficult work with integrity and excellence, and with compassion for our family," the statement continued.
