On Sunday’s episode of Big Brother 11, Chima Benson revealed
that she was raped and brutally beaten by a serial killer who was later caught
and killed by the death penalty. Details on Chima’s case have emerged following
the episode.
Dale Devon Scheanette was known as the ‘Bathtub Rapist’ because
after raping and strangling his victims, he put their bodies in bathtubs half
full of water. His first known victim was Christine Vu, who was killed on
September 17, 1996. Scheanette murdered Wendie Prescott next on December 24th
of that same year.
Between the two cases, only one finger print was found
but couldn’t be matched to a suspect. Semen taken from both of the victims
matched.
Three years later, Scheanette entered Chima’s dorm room and
brutally beat her before raping her. Chima fought back and survived. Semen
taken from her case matched the Bathtub Rapist. She required two surgeries on injuries
to her face.
New fingerprint technology helped identify Scheanette as
the killer and rapist. He was arrested and died by lethal injection on February
10, 2009 in a Texas prison. Scheanette was suspected of five other rapes.
