Police Link Magirl To Dozens Of Rapes Thu Jul 25,10:39 PM ET Albuquerque Police believe a man shot to death while attempting to rape an Albuquerque mother was a serial rapist. They are now looking into more than 100 rapes in New Mexico, Arizona and California to see if Michael Magirl was responsible. Police tell Action 7 News that Magirl was linked to several rapes but was left alone because he was simply handsome and clean cut. Albuquerque Police are working with authorities in Hobbs who are looking into several unsolved rape cases there. Magirl traveled to Hobbs once a month. Police also have evidence that links Magirl to rapes dating back to the early 1970's. Investigators hope they can match DNA evidence to Magirl's. Diverdan
