Springfield police suspected that a prison guard named Bobbie McGhee was a serial rapist. They wanted a sample of his DNA. They got it from the utensils he used at a waffle shop.
McGhee was under surveillance when he stopped into the Belgian Waffle and Pancake House near his home. The traces he left on the silverware confirmed that he was the ski-masked man who stalked women at hotels and apartment buildings.
McGhee, 48, was sentenced to 45 years in prison last Thursday. In May, he pleaded guilty to 12 felony counts of burglary, sodomy and rape.
McGhee terrorized women while working as a prison guard at the Ozark Correctional Center. He facilitated his crimes by removing or reversing peepholes on doors of hotel rooms and apartments. Authorities were able to link him to five rapes committed between 2000 and 2008.
Three of McGhee's victims spoke at his sentencing. One woman said she believed that McGhee's training as a prison guard enabled him to restrain her.
McGhee's lawyer asked for a lighter sentence, telling the court the defendant had experienced a traumatic childhood. When he spoke, McGhee apologized for the "horrible thing" he had done.
Sharing the name (if not the spelling) of a man in a song Janis Joplin took to No. 1, McGhee will be spending many years in a place where the doors have slits instead of peepholes, and topping a waffle with peaches and whipped cream is not an option.
