NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It may never be known how many women accused killer and convicted rapist Jerome Barrett attacked during the 1975 crime spree he is accused of.

His toboggan hat, a blue bandana he would use to cover his face and some cheap, cloth garden gloves would all be linked to at least six attacks on women, according to police.

According to the detective who arrested him, when police went into his apartment on Jefferson Street in 1975, they found evidence that there were more victims.

"You know, I don't think we ever identified but maybe a third of that stuff. So we knew there were more victims out there," said former Metro Detective Ralph Langston.

Barrett would later be found guilty and be sentenced to 60 years in prison for raping a Belmont student. He was released from prison in 2002. He is charged in the 1975 slaying of Vanderbilt student Sarah Des Prez and, according to Channel 4 News, is connected by DNA samples to the 1975 death of 9-year-old Marcia Trimble.

In the 1975 rape trial, the Belmont student gave her account of being raped by Barrett.

"I started crying, and I started praying out loud that God would help me and keep me alive,” the Belmont student said in court.

"‘God?’ he said, ‘Who is your savior? You (expletive).’ I said, ‘God.’ He said, ‘Well, do you want to live you (expletive)?’”

At this point, she said, he started getting agitated like he was going to kill her.

“And he said, ‘White (expletive). Now, who's your God?’” she said.

She said when she told Barrett he was her God, “I knew I said the right thing. He relaxed, and then he said, ‘Who's your savior?’ And I said, ‘You are.' He said, ‘OK. OK. (expletive),’” she said.

Then he got off her, she said.

The whole time he had been demanding money, according to the victim. She said she told him “all I have is 400 pennies. I've been saving all year.”

She said he laughed, grabbed the pennies and told her, “Well, you're raped now and it wouldn't do any good to tell police, because they were dumb and that I was going to be shamed and made to look like a whore because (I have) been raped by a black man. He laughed again and left,” she said.

Despite Barrett’s conviction and violence, Trimble’s mother, Virginia, said she wants a meeting with Barrett. She said she wants to hear exactly what happened if he is the one who killed Marcia.

"The truth will set you free, and I would like to be free of this not knowing. You know, it's always not knowing. And justice for Marcia, justice for her because someone has kept a secret, a dark secret for all these years -- for 32 years," she said.

Police said they recovered a pair of monogrammed cuff links from his Belmont victim that they used as evidence.
