He had entered her apartment by cutting the screen door while she was sleeping, the Chatham County District Attorney’s (DA) Office said.

Dyak was identified as the suspect in 2023 after he was being investigated for another sexual assault in Florida where his DNA was uploaded from the Florida investigation into CODIS, (Combined DNA Index System). It matched DNA taken from the Chatham County victim taken in 2019.
