SICK TIMOTHY KRAJCIR SUSPECTED IN '82 PA. SEX SLAY

EVIL TIMOTHY Krajcir was Dexter before Dexter. Now in prison forever for a series of murders in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, he is being eyed for other killings around the country. One of them is the 1982 rape murder in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Barbara Solt, 27, was a popular phys. ed. teacher found dead Nov. 17, 1982 by her school principal. She had been stabbed a dozen times and raped. No signs of robbery. Neighbors heard nothing.
A search of sex fiends whose MO matched led them to Bad Timmy--then a 38-year-old Allentown man
recently busted on a trio of sex assault beefs. He had already been certified as sexually dangerous. But Bad Timmy denied knowing anything when questioned by detectives. His polygraph test bizarrely failed to register a reading of any kid. Fast forward 20 years: Krajcir would make a chilling confession to an investigator who had tracked him down through a DNA match that solved a 1982 murder case there. In 2007, Krajcir admitted to eight other murders in several states, including one in Berks County, PA. MORE IN THE MORNING CALL

SUSPECTED KILLER OF EILEEN ADAMS NEW TRIAL IS OCT. 11

ON OCT. 11, Eileen Adams may finally get justice after nearly 44 years. That's when suspected sex killer Robert Bowman will be retried for the 1967 torture murder of Eileen, 14 at the time of the slaying. The creepy 75-year-old's first trial ended in a hung jury, although one juror said it was 10-2 to convict. There is a gag order on the defense and prosecution.
The grisly slaying had Satanic elements and was shocking beyond belief when it occurred. It stumped cops for years --even after Bowman's ex-wife told detectives she saw Adams hanging naked, Christ-like in her basement. It's believed Bowman kidnapped the girl, held her captive in his basement for several days using her as a sexual play thing then murdered her. Eileen's body was discovered in a Michigan field in January 1968. She had been tied up with telephone and drapery cords. A nail had been driven through her head.

WILL EILEEN ADAMS FINALLY GET JUSTICE MONDAY?

THE FATE of Robert Bowman will be determined Monday. That's when the prosecution and defense present their final arguments in the case of the 75-year-old accused killer. The old creep is charged with first-degree murder in the 1967 sex strangling of Eileen Adams in Toledo. The 14-year-old was last seen a week before Christmas on a city bus. Her body was found in January 1968 in a field in rural Michigan. Her hands were tied in front of her and her ankles were bound with a cord that attached to her neck. From the back of her shattered skull protruded a nail.
The defense called just one witness Friday: Julie Heinig, who works at a private DNA lab. She testified in
festival of smoke and mirrors that maybe...could be...maybe not...on the evidence. 
DNA was found on the Eileen's clothing in 2006 after cold case detectives reopened the long unsolved case. Bowman had long been a suspect particularly after his ex-wife went to cops and told them she saw Eileen chained to a wall naked in their home. MORE IN THE TOLEDO BLADE
