Man accused of rape to remain behind bars

A man accused of raping several women in Utah and Wyoming will remain behind bars.

A judge has denied bail to 69-year-old Mark Burns, keeping him in jail until his next scheduled court appearance two weeks from now.

Last week, authorities arrested Burns after linking him to at least nine different rape cases in Clearfield, Ogden, Layton and Riverdale that occurred in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Investigators made the connections through a familial DNA search.
