Serial Killer Suspect
--Registered Nurse-- Arrested


Compiled By GayToday

New York, New York--A registered Staten Island-based nurse has been charged with the murders of Thomas R. Mulcahy, 57, of Sudbury, Massachusetts (July, 1992) and of Anthony E. Marrero, a 44-year old hustler and crack addict who turned tricks at Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal (May, 1993).

Both victims had been dismembered. Their murders sent jitters through the New York/New Jersey area.

The suspect, Richard W. Rogers Jr., 50, works at Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. Traced, reportedly, through enhanced fingerprint technology, Rogers was arrested early this week while being interviewed at Headquarters by Manhattan police.

Thomas R. Mulcahy and Anthony E. Marrero were two of five cases of bisexual or gay men murdered between 1991-1993 and whose killings have long been believed by police to be linked.

Police in New Jersey pointed to "significant similarities in the deaths of Messrs. Mulcahy Marrero" and authorities in other states are said to be taking a second look at unsolved cases bearing like methods of operation. Information about the suspect is currently being shared with Maine.

All of the male victims have been middle-aged. Four were last seen in New York's gay bars.
