SPOKANE, Wash – The man known for decades as the South Hill Rapist can now go free, 45 years after the crimes that terrorized Spokane. A judge Thursday granted the state’s motion to dismiss its petition to hold Kevin Coe at the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island. Coe already served 25 years in prison, then was declared a sexually violent predator and committed to the DSHS facility. The state says because of his age and health, Coe no longer fits the criteria, and they don’t have probable cause to hold him. Monahan-Cain was attacked by Coe in 1979 as she left her radio station job on the south hill.
