Photographer Questioned in Rapes and Murders of Women

FORT WORTH — A 44-year-old free-lance photographer jailed on a sexual assault charge was questioned Friday as a possible suspect in a series of rapes, disappearances and murders of women in Fort Worth, authorities said.
Remsen Wolff “is a suspect in one rape and he has been mentioned in connection with at least one of the disappearances,” police spokesman Doug Clarke said.
Police and Municipal Judge Daniel Hollifield--who arraigned Wolff at Wolff’s apartment late Thursday--said he was being questioned in connection with the disappearance and murders of as many as nine young women.
Wolff was charged with aggravated sexual assault in connection with the 1984 rape of a Fort Worth woman who identified him in a photo lineup, Clarke said. An arrest warrant was issued after police obtained undisclosed substantiating evidence, he added. Wolff was being held in lieu of $500,000.
Wolff lives at the same apartment complex where Ginger Hayden, 19, was slain Sept. 5 by an attacker who stabbed her 48 times.
