Accused serial killer moved to protective custody

A Blue Island man accused of killing three teenagers and raping a fourth has been moved to protective custody in the Cook County Jail, telling his attorney he felt threatened by the other inmates.

Sonny Pierce, 27, is charged in the August 2010 sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl. DNA collected during that probe linked him to the murders of two other teens, police said, and a computer seized during those probes connected him, prosecutors said, to a third victim.

Pierce was fine until news broke last week about the murder charges, his attorney said. "People have been getting in his face," attorney Nicholas Albukerk said.
