''MUSKOGEE, Okla – Muskogee authorities arrest a suspect believed to be connected to multiple rape cases dating back to the 1990’s.
Leroy Smith is charged with five counts of rape.
This comes after authorities used DNA collected from sexual assaults and had a genealogical service do an analysis.
This analysis found Smith was the suspect in multiple investigations from the time.
Smith’s DNA was collected, tested, and came back as a match.''
''Between January 1993 and October 1995, the women, ranging in age from 19 to 40, were sexually assaulted. The survivors all described their attacker as an African American male in his 20’s. DNA was collected at the time, but was never able to be matched to a suspect. In September 2019, District 15 District Attorney Orvil Loge requested assistance from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) with identifying a suspect using tools available through the Bureau including forensic analysis and genealogy testing.''
