A composite sketch of a person of interest in three violent rapes and two homicides in the Brockton area within the last two years was released Tuesday. Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said the sketch was generated by the use of state-of-the-art DNA phenotyping, along with information compiled during the investigation. The three rapes were reported in October 2013, November 2013 and January 2014, Cruz said. He said that the women were “brutally beaten and brutally assaulted" and later dumped miles from the city. “The man that picked up the three women who were raped, picked them up, he violently beat them, violently assaulted them, He then basically dumped them -- usually battered on the sides of roads -- miles away from Brockton,” Cruz said. Police said DNA collected from sexual assault kits in each rape was traced to the same person. The bodies of two women were found in December 2014 in a wooded area along North Quincy Street in Brockton. One of the women was identified as Ashley Mylett, a 20-year-old who lived in the city. Police believe that the person responsible for the rapes is “directly linked” to Mylett’s death. Mylett's body was found alongside the body of 50-year-old Linda Schufeldt. The placement of the bodies indicates that the person who killed Mylett also killed Schufeldt, Cruz said. “The cases all have a common denominator: The female victims were known to work as prostitutes and the attacker targeted them," Crus said. The man is believed to be about 25 years old and weighs 180 pounds. He was driving a dark-colored sports car at the time of the attacks. Cruz urged other victims who might not have come forward to contact police. Anyone with information is urged to call police at 508-894-2584.
