Paul Perez, 57, was about to be freed from prison on unrelated crimes when charged with the infants’ deaths.
Thirteen years after an infant’s body was found sealed inside a container in a Northern California waterway, a local man has been charged with the newborn’s murder as well as the murder of four other babies over nine years.
The investigation that led to the charges began after a fisherman discovered a 1- to 3-month-old infant’s badly decomposed body wrapped in a Winnie the Pooh blanket on March 29, 2007, in an irrigation slough near Woodland, California. The body had been placed inside of a metal cooler which was then submerged, with added weight from metal objects, according to a coroner’s report.
Nikko Lee Perez, as the infant was identified, was born on Nov. 8, 1996, in Fresno, California. He and his four other siblings were all under six months old when authorities allege that Perez killed them. Authorities, who declined to answer questions about the infants’ family members, including whether they have the same mother, said it’s not yet clear whether there may be more victims in the case. A cause of death and suspected motive have also not been released.
