The date of the Jane Doe killing is unknown but is believed to have occurred sometime between 1980 and 1999. The 79-year-old defendant appeared in Cincinnati’s Hamilton County Court via Skype from California State Prison in Los Angeles County and sat with his hands folded in a wheelchair, responding “Yes, ma’am” when Judge Melba Marsh asked if he waived his right to a trial by jury. “He said he specifically looked for people who would not be missed,” Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier told the judge.
