Alleged ‘Westside Rapist’ Suspected in Other Slayings

John Floyd Thomas, also known as the alleged “Westside Rapist,” has pleaded not guilty to seven murder charges. Thomas had long been suspected by law enforcement for raping and killing older women living in the west Los Angeles and Claremont areas during the 1970s and 1980s.

Police allege that Thomas has been linked to the seven murders by DNA evidence. Officials believe, however, that he could be responsible for as many as 30 homicides over the past 40 years. The recent charges are the result of cold-case investigations conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Inglewood Police Department.
