Significant reward offered in serial killer cold case

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities are renewing their search for a serial killer they say committed at least 12 homicides, 45 rapes and dozens of burglaries across California in the 1970s and 1980s.

The FBI and Sacramento County officials held a new conference Wednesday to announce a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the 40-year-old
cold case.

The FBI says the suspect terrorized citizens in multiple California counties. He’s been linked to more than 175 crimes in all between 1976 and 1986.
