   Daniel Meridy, 35   
      
   NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - An accused serial rapist was indicted Thursday by an   
   Orleans Parish Grand Jury.   
      
   District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office secured the indictment of accused   
   serial rapist Daniel Meridy who linked by DNA results to the sexual assaults   
   of at least eight women in two states.   
      
   Meridy was charged with five counts of aggravated/first-degree rape and five   
   counts of aggravated kidnapping in the 10-count indictment. Each of the 10   
   counts is punishable by a mandatory lifetime prison sentence.   
      
   Meridy’s bond from $2 million to $7.5 million after the indictment was read.   
      
   Meridy, 35, has been linked by DNA results to the five New Orleans rapes for   
   which he is charged that occurred between June 2015-October 2018 in Treme and   
   Central City.   
      
   His DNA profile also has matched evidence recovered from the rapes of three   
   other women in Kansas City, Mo., which occurred in 2004-05. Meridy has told   
   authorities he lived in Kansas City between 2002-15, before returning to his   
   native New Orleans.   
      
   The New Orleans cases involve five women who were abducted at gunpoint or   
   knifepoint, then taken to secluded locations or abandoned properties where   
   they were raped. The incidents occurred:   
      
   · In the 1800 block of Bayou Road, around 9 p.m. on June 7, 2015;   
      
   · In the 600 block of South Genois Street, around 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 26, 2016;   
      
   · Near the corner of Washington Avenue and Clara Street, around 9 p.m. on   
   Sept. 21, 2016;   
      
   · In the 2200 block of Fourth Street, around 11:45 p.m. on June 10, 2018;   
      
   · In the 2400 block of South Johnson Street, around 2 p.m. on Oct. 13, 2018.   
      
   NOPD sex crimes detective Kevin Richardson, tasked to DNA-related cold cases   
   under the department's SAKI grant (Sexual Assault Kit Initiative), took up the   
   investigation last September after being notified that the same unknown DNA   
   profile had been found    
   in the first four unsolved New Orleans cases.   
      
   In one of those attacks, a victim had reported a license plate that Richardson   
   eventually traced to Meridy. The detective obtained a search warrant for a   
   buccal swab of Meridy’s cheek last Dec. 6, and the resulting DNA profile   
   matched all five New    
   Orleans cases. Meridy has remained in custody since his arrest on Dec. 10.   
      
   Once Meridy’s DNA profile was uploaded into the federal database, the match   
   to three similar unsolved Kansas City cases also came to light.   
      
   Meridy has not yet been charged by Kansas City authorities.
