The Erie County District Attorney says results from a new DNA test in the Bike Path Rapist case are expected to be in this week.

Suspect Altemio Sanchez underwent a buccal swab test last Thursday.

Police originally took DNA from Sanchez from utensils he used at a Williamsville restaurant before his arrest.

Prosecutors had ordered a new test and a sample was taken from a swab of Sanchez's cheek last week.

Police will test this new DNA sample against evidence preserved from the murders of Majane Mazur and Linda Yalem.

Last month, a grand jury voted to indict Sanchez in the murders of Mazur and Yalem. Police say he is also suspected in several other attacks.
