An attorney was arrested in New Jersey on Wednesday for a string of rapes he's accused of committing in Boston more than a decade ago, CBS Boston reported.
Boston police said that Matthew Nilo, 35, was arrested in Weehawken, just outside of New York City, in connection with four sexual assaults that took place in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston over two days in 2007 and two days in 2008, CBS Boston reported.
The FBI used relatively new genetic genealogy technology to help identify Nilo, CBS Boston reported. Investigative genealogy, also known as forensic genealogy, combines DNA analysis and genealogical research by combing public databases to try to find possible relatives. The technique was used last year to identify a 50 years after her killing. Until last year, she was Massachusetts' oldest unidentified homicide victim.
