Searching Robert Koehler's home, police say they found 'a dungeon in progress,' plus safes full of 'trinkets, possibly souvenirs' — including a potential weapon
Robert Koehler, suspected “Pillowcase Rapist.” Photo: Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Throughout the 1980s, an unknown assailant — dubbed the “Pillowcase Rapist” due to his choice of face covering — prowled South Florida, sneaking into women’s homes and raping them at knifepoint.
Authorities took Koehler into custody on Saturday: According to the Miami Herald, an arrest of his son generated a hit in a DNA database on January 13. That led them to the elder Koehler, who was convicted of rape in 1991, although no link was established to the Pillowcase Rapist at the time. Now with the son’s genetic profile in hand, however, police reportedly trailed Koehler to a “public area,” subsequently taking DNA samples from things he touched.
So far, Koehler has only been charged — with two counts of sexual assault and battery with a deadly weapon — for the 1983 attack, but at a hearing on Thursday, authorities said they had DNA evidence linking him to 25 rapes from the 80s. Searching his home, police also reported finding what looked like “a dungeon in progress” under his home. It allegedly had multiple safes inside, filled with “trinkets, possibly souvenirs” — including a sharp-ended nail file, plus a cache of women’s jewelry.
