Lubbock police tell NewsChannel 11 DNA has linked, Jose Luis Lopez, 47, to four separate rapes, two in Lubbock County and two in Midland.
Lopez is 5'10", weighing about 190 lbs. Police tell us that Lopez usually wears contact lenses, though his wanted poster shows him wearing glasses. He may be driving a 1995, red Chevrolet Suburban, with Texas plates: 45F-VL3.
Police know Lopez was in Lubbock two weeks ago. That's because they served a warrant to take a DNA sample from him. Now, he's no-where to be found.
"He does actually enter victim's houses and threatens them with a knife. We do think that he is very dangerous," Lubbock Police Lieutenant Scott Hudgens said.
