The rapes happened in two states.
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. - Authorities in Michigan say DNA from a coffee cup has linked a man to two rape cases from over two decades ago.
According to court documents, Alan Kurt Rillema faces several felony charges in Michigan and Pennsylvania including criminal sexual conduct, rape by forcible compulsion and sexual assault. The 51-year-old is accused of raping an employee at a golf course in Michigan in 1999 and attacking a female jogger at knifepoint on a golf course at Penn State University in 2000.Authorities submitted DNA samples from the crimes to a national database, which concluded one of three brothers was likely responsible for the attacks.
Police then tested Rillema’s DNA, taken from a styrofoam coffee cup, which they say matched with the perpetrator.He is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
