Construction worker killed 9, police say
Police said they had the man responsible for nine slayings that spread terror across the Phoenix area for nearly a year.
Police Chief Jack Harris said investigators were recommending that Mark Goudeau, a 42-year-old construction worker who has been in jail since September, be charged with 71 counts, including nine murders.
Goudeau was arrested three months ago in two sexual assaults attributed to the so-called Baseline Killer. Cmdr. Joe Klima, who oversaw the investigation, said investigators have collected forensic evidence, including DNA and ballistics, implicating Goudeau in the slayings.
