Robert Koehler allegedly used a pillowcase or other fabric to cover his face, or their face, before assaulting them, tying them up, and stealing items from their homes.

MIAMI, Florida -- Advanced DNA technology helped detectives link the cases of six women to a man accused of being the"pillowcase rapist" for a string of rapes back in the 1980s.

The assaults by the pillowcase rapist attracted extensive media attention in South Florida and the creation of a task force to investigate the sex crimes, sheriff's officials said. Floyd began looking through the files in 2019 and found the case of a woman who was assaulted in her Pompano Beach apartment in June 1984. That led her to several other similar crimes in Broward County.

Floyd got a search warrant for Koehler's DNA and testing done by the sheriff's office crime lab found it matched the evidence in the cases she was investigating, she said."When I found my first case, it actually saddened me to have to reach out to that victim and have her relive what had happened so many years ago," Floyd said.
