PUEBLO, Colo. -- Authorities say a Colorado man suspected of sexually assaulting more than 12 women in New Mexico and Texas and trying to kill a police officer has prompted inquiries from other investigators in Colorado and Kansas.
Pueblo County sheriff's investigators said Wednesday they've been in contact with authorities in Fort Collins, Colo. and Lawrence, Kan., about 47-year-old Robert Howard Bruce of Pueblo.
Bruce is being held on suspicion of trying to kill a Pueblo officer who was to testify against him in a peeping Tom case.
Authorities say DNA from the attempted-murder case linked Bruce to assaults in Albuquerque, N.M., and Austin.
Police in Fort Collins and Lubbock, Texas, say they're looking at whether Bruce was involved in assaults there. The reason for Kansas' interest wasn't clear.
