DNA Evidence Links Convicted Man To Other Crimes

Last updated on Saturday, February 23, 2008

(MUNCIE) - DNA evidence has linked a convicted rapist to at least a half-dozen attacks on women in Muncie since 1992.

47-year-old Marvin Brown was arraigned Thursday on 20 felony counts, including six counts of rape. A judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf.

Brown is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2001 rape conviction.

Muncie police linked Brown to the attacks after obtaining federal funding to investigate cold cases.
