CLEVELAND—Ohio authorities charged a man on Thursday, Feb. 15, with aggravated murder in the 1992 slaying of a woman at a truck stop, one of four such killings they say he is linked to through DNA evidence.

Samuel Legg III, 49, was extradited in January from Arizona to face charges in the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape at an arraignment in that case on Thursday in northeast Ohio’s Medina County. Authorities say DNA also links Legg to that case.
