Subject: Adelphi serial rapist: view police drawing



I respectfully suggest that this e-mail should promptly be forwarded  
to the current Adelphi Recreation e-mail list, with a request that  
recipients further forward it to any appropriate local lists, and  
post the information on any appropriate local forums.

The image inserted below (or attached) is taken from a "Wanted"  
poster produced by the Montgomery County Police Department.  It is a  
drawing of g of an unidentified suspect who is being sought for the  
rape of a woman on the evening of July 4, not far from the  
intersection ofAdelphi Road and New Hampshire Avenue.  That attack  
occurred (barely) over the Montgomery County county line.  However,  
since March there have been five other reported rapes and sexual  
assaults on or near Adelphi Road within Prince George's County, all  
using the same general method, and all by an individual or  
individuals meeting the same general description as the attacker who  
is depicted in the drawing.

All six attacks occurred from 8:50 PM to just after midnight.  Two of  
the PG County attacks occurred by the George Washington Cemetery that  
borders Adelphi Road and Riggs Road, north and west of Adelphi Pool.   
Two others occurred in the Buck Lodge neighborhood, not far east of  
Adelphi Pool.

The most recent attack, on July 5, was about three miles further  
south, at the intersection of Adelphi Road and Belcrest Road in  
Hyattsville. The mother of the victim of the Hyattsville assault has  
written an account which has been posted on the Internet, here:http://

  Regarding the man depicted in the drawing, according to a July 19  
report on WRC-TV, "Prince George's County police detectives said they  
think it could be the same subject in their July 5 [Hyattsville] case  
and four others in the Adelphi area.  The victim of the most recent  
attack in Hyattsville said the sketch looks like the man who  
assaulted her."

The information above was prepared from public sources by Douglas  
Johnson, a private citizen and resident of Adelphi.  If you wish to  
receive a copy of the complete police "Wanted" poster (letter-sized,
