East Coast Rapist Suspect Arrested in Connecticut

Federal and local authorities said Friday they have arrested a suspect in the so-called East Coast Rapist case for attacks on at least 17 women in Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island and Virginia.

Members of the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force arrested Aaron Thomas, 39, “without incident” at his home in New Haven, police spokesman Joseph Avery said.

U.S. Marshal Joe Faughnan said a lead from authorities in Virginia directed them to Thomas. He did not elaborate.

Thomas was not formally charged and was being held by police for questioning, Avery said. But “he has been identified as the East Coast Rapist,” Avery said.

The attacks began in 1997 and occurred in Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island and Virginia.
