A Maine man accused of raping and strangling an 11-year-old girl in 1986 is being brought back to Connecticut to face murder and kidnapping charges.

53-year-old Marc Karun agreed not to fight extradition during a court appearance in Bangor Friday.

“He's being brought back to Connecticut and will be in court on Monday,” says Norwalk Police Lieutenant Blake Terry.

An arrest warrant says that although DNA testing on Karun came back either negative or inconclusive, Kathleen Flynn was assaulted in a similar fashion to four other attacks of females, for which Karun was convicted.

Flynn was killed Sept. 23, 1986, while walking home from her school in Norwalk.

Messages were left for Karun's lawyers on Friday.
