Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced Tuesday afternoon that the man known as the Ski-mask Rapist had been captured after the cases went unsolved for more than 30 years.
According to a CMPD release, the departments Sexual Assault Cold Case Unit late last year connected a series of rape cases from 1979 that had gone unsolved because police had not been able to positively identify a suspect.
On Tuesday, police found Brooks in Horry County. He was arrested and is currently being housed in the Horry County Jail pending extradition, police said.
According to the Surfside Police Department, Brooks was arrested in his rented beach condo at 2:30 p.m.
