EDNA, Texas — A state prison employee whose records show he has worked for a home health care agency is suspected of being a serial rapist accused of targeting older women in Texas after he was caught fleeing an elderly woman’s home, authorities said Sunday.
Billy Joe Harris, 53, was taken into custody Saturday morning after Edna police responded to a medical emergency alert from an elderly woman and saw Harris running from the home, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
A DNA sample taken from the suspect linked him to five other assaults in Yoakum, Bell, Falls and Leon counties, the department said.
Authorities have been looking for the so-called “Twilight Rapist” since 2009.
