[RP TownTalk] FW: Fwd: Adelphi serial rapist: police drawing

[Lisa Grob]

I didn't quite catch how close this is to us until I read the personal
account and the news article below - the 20 year old college student was
coming out of the PG Plaza Metro.

not....

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
recipientsfurther 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 ofg 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 Roadwithin 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://groups.msn.com/UMDTSA2002/general.msnw?action=get_message

_Message=4142> &mview=1&ID_Message=4142

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, in PDF format), please
