A former law enforcement officer wanted in a series of “horrific” decades-old sexual assaults in Northern California was arrested based on a combination of DNA testing and genetic profiling, authorities said Monday.

Mark Manteuffel, 59, was arrested Friday in Decatur, Georgia. He worked for decades in the federal Bureau of Prisons and as a law enforcement and criminal justice lecturer at California State University, Sacramento, authorities told reporters.
