TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Tacoma police are investigating whether Terapon Adhahn was involved in the 1995 abduction, assault and shooting of a 21-year-old convenience store clerk.

The woman, who was left for dead near Fort Lewis Golf Course, now says she believes her attacker may have been the man charged this week with abducting and killing a 12-year-old girl who was snatched from an alley behind her family's Tacoma home on July 4th.

Records show that Adhahn was living seven blocks away from the convenience store where the clerk was abducted in November 1995 and that he attended a group therapy session for sex offenders in Tacoma hours before the abduction took place.

Police are analyzing grainy surveillance footage taken at the convenience store the night of the abduction, trying to verify whether a man who bears a resemblance to Adhahn is actually him.

Adhahn, a 42-year-old Thai immigrant and convicted sex offender, was charged Monday with aggravated first-degree murder, rape and kidnapping in the death of 12-year-old Zina Linnik. He has also been charged with raping two other girls. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.
