Priscilla	Almares	12	SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A registered sex offender facing a capital murder charge in one death has become the prime suspect in the November 1994 rape and strangulation of two teen-age girls, and police now also suspect him in two other killings. Authorities say they believe 29-year-old Ramon Torres Hernandez, nicknamed the "Razor," kidnapped and killed at least five victims from the same southwest San Antonio neighborhood beginning about seven years ago. Hernandez already was charged in the rape and slaying of Rosa Maria Rosado, 37, whose body was found in a shallow grave in April. This month, San Antonio police charged Hernandez, 29, with the 1994 rape and strangulation of Sarah Gonzales, 13, and Priscilla Almares, 12, after DNA evidence linked him to their deaths. The Bexar County district attorney's office plans to take the case to a grand jury in the next two months. Now, Bandera County Sheriff James MacMillan says Hernandez is a suspect in the strangulation deaths of San Antonio teens Laura Gamez and Jennifer Taylor, whose decomposed bodies were found on a ranch near Medina Lake in April 1995.

Sarah Jean	Bowker	7	As relatives and neighbors searched for LaKia they spoke of the well-known Tinsley and Bowker cases, noting LaKia had disappeared on March 22 and Tinsley had been abducted on April 1, 1988. There wasn't much speculation that LaKia fell victim to the same suspects that preyed on the other girls - Last year, prosecutors announced they were closing the Bowker case after they developed enough evidence to be satisfied that the man who abducted, molested and murdered her was dead, a 75-year-old man who died in 1994.

Gina	Brooks	13	Fredericktown, MO -- Sept. 27, 1998 -- Gina Dawn Brooks was riding her bike to a friend's house about 10:30 p.m. the night she disappeared. Her bike was found five blocks from her home. Two 12-year-old boys heard her screams for help, and saw a battered station wagon speed off. Nine years have passed since Gina was snatched off her bike on the normally quiet streets of Fredericktown, Mo., disappearing into the dark without a trace. The billboards and posters seeking information on Gina may be down, but that doesn't mean people -- or police -- forgot. Investigators kept searching, and now have charged two men they believe abducted her that night of Aug. 5, 1989. Nathan D. "Danny" Williams, 38, and Timothy R. Bellew, 28, were charged with her murder. Williams is a convicted child rapist already serving a 30-year sentence without parole in the state penitentiary. Bellew lives with his parents on a heavily wooded 96-acre plot about 10 miles south of Fredericktown. Gina is feared dead, but her remains never have been found.


Amanda	Brown	7	Detectives who searched for months without finding her body say they are convinced just the same that she is dead.

Family snapshots show 7-year-old Amanda Brown as a little girl with a waifish face, grinning for her school picture, her baby teeth slowly being replaced by those that were supposed to last her into adulthood...


Angela	Bugay	5	A Contra Costa County jury has found Larry Christopher Graham guilty of the 1983 murder of five-year-old Angela Bugay.

Angela Bugay's body was found at a reservoir south of Antioch a week after she was reported missing.


Ann Marie	Burr	9	Theodore "Ted" Bundy was something of a celebrity throughout the 70's and 80's. He allegedly killed 36 women, but by his own admission, there were at least 100 more unaccounted for. He had no remorse, no pity, no empathy for the victims or their families. On February 9, 1978, Kimberly Leach, age 12, was reported missing from her junior high school in Lake City, Florida. Two months later, after a large scale search, the Leach girl's partially decomposed body was located in a wooded area near the Suwanee River. There were semen stains in the crotch of her panties found near the body. The only person Ted Bundy ever felt true sympathy for was himself. He lacked the ability to love anyone other than himself, and lived without the one thing that separates man from animals-- a conscience. And so it is with all predators...

Cannie Melinda	Bullock	8	DNA evidence has tied a Colorado convict to the vicious 1979 rape and murder of an 8-year-old California girl, authorities revealed Wednesday. Cannie Melinda Bullock was raped, choked and beaten to death on Aug. 25, 1979. The killer disappeared and her murder remained unsolved. But using DNA tests unknown at the time, police said they now know who killed the girl. Investigators charged a habitual child molester named Joseph Cordova, Jr. with murdering, raping and molesting Bullock. His DNA profile recently had been entered into a national database of convicted felons. Cordova was not a suspect before the DNA match. He moved from California to Canada a couple months after Bullock's slaying, then moved to Colorado in 1980, investigators said. Cordova currently is locked up at the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Crowley, Colo., where he was sent after pleading guilty to molesting an 11-year-old boy in Jefferson County.
