Indianapolis serial rape suspect faces 57 charges
37 year-old Darrell Goodlow, of Indianapolis, is being accused of serial rape over the past year, mostly on the Eastside of Indianapolis. Indianapolis Police say Goodlow has been pushing his way into the homes of older women, holding them hostage, and repeatedly raping them. Thanks to a single fingerprint, he has been linked to DNA evidence left at several of the crime scenes. There are 8 different victims for which Goodlow now faces over 50 charges of rape, assault, burglary, strangulation, and kidnapping. He was arrested late last week while attempting to flee his mother’s home, climbing to a neighbor’s house through the attic.
