A judge has rejected a Marin County rape suspect's request to be released on his own recognizance as the case proceeds. Michael Andre Shipe, 65, of Novato is charged with sex crimes against a resident at Cogir of San Rafael Memory Care. Shipe was an employee at the center, which specializes in services for dementia patients and also offers hospice care. The alleged crimes were reported in September. San Rafael police arrested Shipe last month after receiving DNA test results that linked him to a sperm sample collected during the investigation.
