NEWPORT, Ky. -- Authorities said a man arrested in connection with an attack on two women in Warren County is the “blue-eyed rapist.”On Tuesday afternoon, police held a news conference in Kentucky. They confirm that David Hopper has been linked, through DNA, to a series of sexual assaults and rapes in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.Federal, state and local agencies have matched Hopper, 42, with six different sexual assault cases dating back 14 years. Two of the cases are from the Miami Valley and include a Warren County rape earlier this month and a March 2004 rape at a Miami Township business near the Dayton Mall.Detectives said DNA linked Hopper to six of 10 unsolved sexual assault cases. However, the descriptions from the rapes earlier this month in Warren County, including the jewelry taken, were the key to his arrest.Hopper is a husband and father. He may be linked to more unsolved cases when all the evidence is presented.
