'He is back:' Notorious 'Teardrop Rapist' linked to recent attack on 15-year-old girl, first in five years
much more, with pictures, at Daily Mail link aboveThe Los Angeles Police Department has intensified the search for the notorious 'Teardrop Rapist' after he had claimed his 28th victim in 16 years.
According to reports by the LA Times, DNA evidence released on Tuesday showed that the perpetrator had struck again in November of 2011 after a five-year hiatus, this time raping a 15-year-old girl.
Between 1996 and 2005, police say the rapist known for the distinctive tattoo of one of more teardrops under one of his eye preyed on 27 women and girls between the ages of 14 and 41 seen walking alone in Los Angeles.

After that, no attacks had been reported until last November, which police have attributed to a possible incarceration.
'What we do know is he is back,' Albanese said.
In the most recent case, investigators said the 15-year-old victim made no mention of the teardrop tattoo previously seen by others, leading officials to believe that the rapist may have had the tattoo removed.
The suspect is described as a Latino man in his 40s or 50s who is fluent in both English and Spanish.
