Paul Allen Perez, 63, was convicted by a Yolo County jury of multiple counts of murder in the killings of five infant children between 1992 and 2001 across California. A fisherman recovered a metal cooler in March 2007 from Conway Slough east of Woodland that contained a roughly one-month-old infant wrapped in a "Winnie-the-Pooh" blanket and weighted with a brick. The infant was identified by DNA in 2019 as Nikko Lee Perez, born Nov. 8, 1996, in Fresno. Investigators linked several deceased siblings born to Yolanda Perez. Prosecutors described the crimes as "pure evil." Perez was described as "a transient."
