ONEIDA CO. -- The serial rapist found this week in south-central Pennsylvania is back in Oneida County.
45-year-old Robert Blainey is being held in the County Jail, but has not been charged in the death of a Utica motel owner. 68-year-old Linda Turner was found dead at the motel last week.
Police say Blainey was found driving Turner’s Toyota convertible in Montoursville, Pennsylvania earlier this week. Investigators say there’s a strong possibility he will be charged in her death. Police still have not said how she was killed.
Blainey was convicted of attempted rape in 1984 for forcing himself on an eight-year-old girl. Four years later, while on parole, he was again arrested and convicted of raping two women in Madison County. He was released from prison in 2009. Authorities say Blainey went missing after failing to report to his parole officer.
