Los Angeles Times | September 23, 2009 | 9:18p.m. Alleged L.A. serial killer faces five more murder charges
Prosecutors filed five additional murder charges this morning against a former state insurance claims adjuster accused of strangling more than half a dozen older women to death in the 1970s, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. John Floyd Thomas allegedly raped and killed women as the so-called Westside Rapist in the 1970s and later in the 1980s in the Claremont area, police and prosecutors say. Authorities are examining evidence they believe could link him to as many as 30 deaths.
