Antolin Garcia-Torres, the suspect in the kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old Morgan Hill resident Sierra LaMar in 2012, was indicted Tuesday by a criminal grand jury.
According to the district attorney's office, Garcia-Torres was indicted for LaMar's kidnapping and murder as well as series of violent attacks on South Bay women in 2009.
The charges in the indictment replace previous charges filed by the district attorney's office against Garcia-Torres.
