The Interstate 80 rapist is an unidentified American serial rapist who was active in Sacramento, California, between 2013 and 2014.[1]
Crimes
[edit]While many have been convinced that other assaults took place by the same man,[2] only three have been successfully linked by DNA:[3]
Suspects eliminated
[edit]- Robert Hill - Despite Hill being a convicted serial rapist, detectives from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department ruled him out and announced that he was not connected to the series of rapes.[7]
- Kenneth Anderson - Victims of the I-80 Rapist were convinced, when shown Anderson, that he strongly resembled their attacker. However, Anderson gave DNA and he was cleared as a suspect in the rapes.[2][8][9]
