Suspect Arrested in Trenton Rape Case

Trenton police director, Joseph Santiago, made an announcement yesterday that a new suspect was arrested, a week ago, in Bensalem, Pennsylvania—a 38-year-old male from Levittown, Pennsylvania.
Santiago says Burke resembles the sketch of the suspect that's been circulating since the first attack in April of last year. In each case, the assailant offered the women a ride and took them to the park where they were assaulted.
The arrest was based on two tips, one from Crimestoppers and the other from Channel 10’s general tip line, that indicated that people had seen this particular individual, or believed that this particular individual had been in the area.
Police had arrested another suspect last month using a suspect identification. In that case, the DNA didn't match and the man was released. This time, police say they have victim IDs and a car that matches, and they say, so does the DNA.
