Update: NorCal Rapist suspect arrested. He’s a 58-year-old safety specialist at UC Berkeley
September 21, 2018 10:06 AM
Five months after an arrest in the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer case, authorities in Sacramento announced the arrest of another serial rape suspect Friday morning: the so-called NorCal Rapist, who terrorized victims over a 15-year period beginning in 1991.
Roy Charles Waller, 58, a UC Berkeley safety specialist who lives in Benicia with his wife, was arrested Thursday by Sacramento police as he arrived at the job where had worked for the past 25 years, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert and Police Chief Daniel Hahn announced Friday at a press conference at the DA’s crime lab.

Schubert said Waller was found after investigators in her office entered DNA from the NorCal Rapist crime scenes into a “genetic genealogy” website called GEDmatch – the same site used to find DeAngelo.
[.....]
Detectives have said previously that the rapist may have been seen on surveillance videos when he forced victims to drive to ATM machines and withdraw cash, and that he had attacked at least 11 women through 2006.
[.....]
Waller is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, 9/24 in Sacramento Superior Court. He is being held on 12 counts of forcible sexual assault with enhancements, according to Schubert. Those charges stem from an Oct. 13, 2006, assault on two women inside a North Natomas home, the last attack in the series.
