72 Year Old Serial Killer Arrested



A man who is  suspected of being one of the most prolific serial rapist and murderers was arrested in Southern California, where he allegedly commited his crimes.

It is alleged that John Floyd Thomas Junior, who was a workers compensation insurance adjuster,  raped and killed as many as thirty women in Southern California crime spree that terrorized the entire area several decades ago.

DNA matching his was found at a total of three other crime scenes in West Los Angeles in the 1970s and Claremont in the 1980sand he has been arrested and charged with two of the killings.

Evidence in 25 other killings is being examined, but authorities said they suspect Thomas.

“When all is said and done, Mr. Thomas stands to be Los Angeles’ most prolific serial killer,” Bengston told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Thursday.

In the killings in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, a man police dubbed “The Westside Rapist” entered the homes of elderly women who lived alone, raped them and choked them until they passed out or died.

More than ten years later and  40 miles away five elderly women in Claremont were found raped and killed, also with blankets or pillows over their faces.  Wow.. ten years of crimes.. This guy got away with more than O.J.
