Murder Files Unsealed

Listen Later

Roy Charles Waller, an American criminal, gained notoriety for his heinous crimes that spanned over a decade and a half. His arrest in September 2018 marked the culmination of a long and arduous journey for justice, bringing a sense of closure to a series of disturbing offenses.

Early Life and Background

Little is publicly known about Waller's early life or what might have led him to commit such crimes. This lack of information has often been the case with serial criminals, where their past remains shrouded in mystery.

The Crimes

Between 1991 and 2006, Waller embarked on a spree of kidnappings and rapes across six Northern California counties. His actions were characterized by a disturbing pattern and meticulous planning.

The victims, all women, were subjected to unimaginable terror. The nature and consistency of the crimes suggested a perpetrator with a deep-seated pathology.

The Investigation

For years, the cases remained unsolved, with law enforcement agencies struggling to find a link between the crimes. The elusive nature of the criminal led to him being dubbed as the "NorCal Rapist."

Advances in DNA technology eventually played a pivotal role. Similar to the Golden State Killer case, investigators used genealogical databases to identify potential suspects.

Waller's arrest was a testament to the perseverance and dedication of the investigators, who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice.
