A suspected serial rapist already serving a prison sentence for a Miami-Dade rape case now faces new charges in a sexual attack from four decades ago, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office announced.
Robert Koehler, 65, known as the "Pillowcase Rapist" for using pillowcases to cover his victims' faces after breaking into their homes, was charged in a case recently solved, according to investigators.
Authorities tied his DNA to the latest victim, police said.

The state's attorney at the time said he was responsible for 25 rape cases in Miami-Dade County alone, according to court records.
