A man wanted in a series of “horrific” decades-old sexual assaults in Northern California was arrested based on a combination of DNA testing and genetic profiling, authorities said.

A man wanted in a series of “horrific” decades-old sexual assaults in Northern California was arrested based on a combination of DNA testing and genetic profiling, authorities said Monday.

Manteuffel retired in 2014 as an administrator at a correctional facility in Miami, Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn said. Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said Manteuffel faces multiple charges of rape, torture and other crimes. The assailant was never caught, but in the days before the statute of limitations was set to expire on the crimes, authorities filed California’s first-ever warrant for an arrest using DNA evidence to establish a suspect’s identity — and preserve the possibility of that arrest, Schubert said.
