FBI hopes to identify victims in child rape case, Report

The FBI is releasing more information about a serial child predator who targeted girls across the Carolinas and Georgia.

Matthew Coniglio hanged himself in jail in April. Agents hope that more victims will come forward to get the counseling and help they need.

FBI Special Agent William Kirkconnell said investigators found 56 8-millimeter tapes showing Coniglio attacking girls who may have been drugged into unconsciousness.

The FBI shared exclusive details of the case with The Associated Press in the hope victims will step forward and can be offered counseling. The AP also uncovered other exclusive details of Coniglio’s past and previous encounters with the law.

Authorities’ best chance for resolving the unanswered questions vanished April 20, when Coniglio hanged himself in an apparent suicide inside a Georgia jail.
