   A 76-year-old man suspected of a 2021 rape has been arrested in the killings   
   of two women that had been unsolved for decades, authorities in California   
   said.   
      
   James Ray Gary, of Fairfield, was arrested last week in the 1980 killing of   
   Latrelle Lindsay of Union City and the 1996 killing of Winifred Douglas of   
   Berkeley, the Solano County Sheriff's Office said.   
      
   DNA collected during a 2021 rape investigation matched DNA collected from both   
   crime scenes. On July 18, the office was notified that a DNA sample from Gary   
   matched all three crimes. A warrant was obtained for his arrest and to search   
   his home. He was    
   arrested the following day, officials said.   
      
   It was not immediately known if Gary has an attorney who can speak on his   
   behalf. The Solano County Public Defender and the Solano County District did   
   not immediately return phone messages from The Associated Press seeking   
   comment.   
      
   In July of 1980, Lindsay, 46, of Union City, was found dead inside her home.   
   She had been raped and strangled, police said.   
      
   "At the time, no suspects were identified in this killing. A DNA sample was   
   later sent for entry and search in a law enforcement database, but no match   
   was made," the Union City Police Department said in a statement.

   Douglas' body was found in March 1996 hidden among bushes along Highway 780 in   
   Vallejo. An autopsy determined that she had been asphyxiated and suffered   
   blunt-force trauma to the head and neck.   
      
   "We are hoping that this arrest can bring some closure to the family and   
   friends that have been seeking justice for as much as 40 years," the sheriff's   
   office said.   
      
   Gary was booked into Solano County Jail for homicide and is being held without   
   bail.   
      
   Anyone with information about the 1996 Solano County homicide is asked to   
   contact the sheriff's office at 70-784-7050. People with information on the   
   1980 Union City homicide are asked to contact police at 510-675-5227.
