California police are warning residents that a man charged with the 2004 murder of a woman and suspected rapes of others may have other victims.

On Halloween 2004, 43-year-old Barbara Lee of Fresno was found dead in a dirt field, where investigators say she was likely killed, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. The case went cold despite police interviewing several people who knew her. More than 20 years later, police have finally identified a suspect using DNA found at the crime scene.
