Dow added that they "do have evidence in this case that leads us to conclude that there very well may be additional victims in the southern California area." Dow charged Paul Flores with first-degree murder during the commission of attempted rape. Dow added that the statute of limitation for rape has expired, but the allegations that rape was committed or the attempt of rape is the basis for filing a felony murder charge.
