FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Brazilian national who died in a plane crash 16 years ago has been identified as a serial killer linked to the deaths of at least three women in South Florida two decades ago.

Roberto Fernades was identified Tuesday as the suspect in the previously unsolved homicides of Kimberly Dietz-Livesey, Sia Demas and Jessica Good.

Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony was joined by homicide detectives and Miami police Tuesday morning to provide closure to the families of the victims, who were killed over a 14-month span in 2000 and 2001.

"Justice never expires," Tony said.

DNA evidence linked Fernandes, a Brazilian citizen who was living in Miami at the time, to the killings of all three women, but he fled to Brazil before detectives could get to him, Tony said.

1. Did they verify he was actually killed in the plane crash?

A smart serial killer is quite capable of faking his own death.

I know, I watch too many crime shows.
