Authorities nabbed Matthew Nilo, 35, after DNA surreptitiously taken from a drinking glass, matched the profile left on three rape victims in 2007 and 2008insurance attorney was tied to a string of cold-case rapes through a drinking glass, Boston prosecutors revealed at his arraignment.
But authorities had to confirm their hunch and earlier this year began surveilling Nilo, who was working at Cowbell Cyber in Manhattan. A 23-year-old woman was leaving a bar when she couldn't find her car Aug. 18, 2007, and a man she didn't know offered to help. Instead of locating her car, he drove her to Terminal Street."The male told her to shut up or he would kill her," then raped her in the grass near a set of railroad tracks, Feigenbaum said.
