Florida prosecutors say they're pursing the death penalty against a suspected serial killer who has been indicted for first-degree murder in three additional cases.
Florida prosecutors on Thursday said they're pursing the death penalty against a suspected serial killer who has been indicted for first-degree murder in three additional cases.The suspected serial killer, Robert Hayes, was arrested in September, more than a decade after his alleged crimes. He was charged in September for the 2006 slaying of 35-year-old Rachael Bey in Palm Beach County. He pleaded not guilty.
Two of the three victims were linked by forensic evidence, while two were linked by DNA, Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri said in September. DNA recovered from Bey's body also matched the mystery suspect in Gunther's and Green's killings.Genetic genealogy compares unknown DNA evidence from a crime scene to public genetic databases to identify suspects through their family members, who voluntarily uploaded their DNA to those databases.
Once genetic genealogy identified Hayes as a possible suspect, investigators collected a cigarette he had discarded, according to a probable cause affidavit. The DNA from the cigarette matched the DNA from Bey's killing and from one of the Daytona Beach killings, according to court documents.
