Mercury News: San Jose Cold Case - Imprisoned Man Charged with 1994 Oakridge Mall Kidnapping

SAN JOSE — A man serving a lengthy prison sentence has been charged with tying up and robbing an Oakridge Mall employee in 1994, after authorities say they matched cold-case forensic evidence to DNA he submitted after an unrelated sexual abuse conviction.

Tuesday, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office announced that a criminal grand jury indicted 65-year-old Thomas John Loguidice on Dec. 14 on one felony count of kidnapping with the intent to commit robbery. The charge was accompanied by allegations that he used a deadly weapon, threatened great bodily harm, and acted with “a high degree of callousness.”
