A suspected serial killer was arrested by Broward Sheriff's deputies on Thursday before he appeared in court over the 1998 murder of a woman in Broward.
For more than 20 years, the woman was known only as Jane Doe, but in May, BSO identified the victim as Eileen Truppner, a mother of two who'd left her native Puerto Rico and moved to South Florida. Her cause of death was determined to be strangulation.
The BSO said Lucious Boyd -- a convicted murderer, rapist and suspected serial killer -- remains on death row for the murder of Dawnia Dacosta, 21, who was murdered approximately two weeks prior to Truppner.
