The Broward County Office indicated in a statement that In June 1984, a woman who lived in an apartment in Pompano Beach suffered a “cruel and violent” attack in her home, where she was “brutally raped at knifepoint” by a man who broke into her apartment.
This was just one of the cases of this rapist who “terrorized South Florida”, where dozens of women reported having been victims of a man who followed this same pattern of action, although so far he is only accused of six cases of sexual assault .
The Cold Case Unit began connecting the dots in 2019 when Sergeant Kami Floyd began investigating thousands of sexual assault cases from the 1980s and connected several similar cases.
On those dates, prosecutors from neighboring Miami-Dade County announced Koehler’s arrest for a sex crime and Floyd requested a sample of the suspect’s DNA and tests showed it was related to the Broward cases.
Koehler is in custody in Miami-Dade. and will soon be transferred to Broward County to face the charges against him.
“On at least eight occasions in 1984 and 1985, detectives believe Koehler snuck into homes in Broward County late at night or in the early morning hours through open doors and attacked his victims while were sleeping or getting ready for bed,” police said in a statement.
ANDhe nickname “pillowcase rapist” is due to the fact that he sometimes covered the heads of his victims or his own in this way.
According to the authorities, Koehler threatened the women with killing them or their relatives before raping and robbing them and it became a very mediatic case at the time, but due to lack of evidence it was forgotten until now.
The Police have asked the population to contact them if they believe that they could be victims of the accused, as they fear that there may be more victims who have not yet shared their stories.
