Ladies, please take note of this important information. Gentlemen, please share it with the women in your life.
Thank you.
Susan
Some of you may have read the Washington Post article yesterday about the "East Coast Rapist" who has resurfaced in our area:
( <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2010/03/15/ST2010031501850.html?sid=ST2010031501850> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2010/03/15/ST2010031501850.html?sid=ST2010031501850)
On Saturday, my mom was almost a victim of this rapist, and I want
to share her account of what happened in the hopes that the rest of us can be alert and stay safe until this person is caught.
My mom was walking our dog on the Reston path that runs between/parallel to Lawyers Road and Glade Drive, going towards the Acton basketball courts. My dog was acting strangely, and as my mom looked up, she saw a man wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt standing on the bridge. The man looked at my mom from a distance, but then turned and walked the other direction so she didn't think much of it. She crossed over the bridge and began walking up the path past the Acton basketball courts towards home, when my dog started acting strangely again. My mom happened to turn around at that moment to see what my dog was looking at, and the man was suddenly right behind her in her face. She said he had come out of nowhere and she didn't even hear
him. Her first instinct was to run, but she was on a stretch of path where there weren't any houses directly next to her, and she didn't want to make any sudden movements, so she thought her next best bet would be to look the man in the face and have a conversation with him. I think they tell you in self-defense classes that sometimes you can deter your attacker by looking them in the eye. She asked him something like "Are you having a nice morning?" He didn't look at her and didn't respond, but began walking next to her. My mom began to speed up her pace and the man started to drop back behind her but as he did so, he pulled his hands out of his pockets and she saw that he was wearing latex gloves. At this point my mom's "fight or flight" instincts really kicked in and she ran away as fast as she could and called the police. The police officer called in the detective who is handling this case (the one who
contributed to the Washington Post article), and explained to her the magnitude of the situation. My mom's description of the suspect (African-American, 5'11", 200 lbs, stocky build, broad face, no facial hair, wearing a blue hoodie), as well as her account of how it happened (man spots his victim, disappears in another direction, then suddenly reappears behind his victim), all match the East Coast Rapist's description and M.O., as well as the other sightings and near-attacks that have been experienced in our area within the past week.
Please forward this on to anyone you know in the area (particularly women) who walk their dog, go on runs, etc. Please encourage them not to go on the paths by themselves, and to use the main roads if they are by themselves. Apparently this rapist has been spotted all over the Northern Virginia area in recent weeks so he is not just
isolated to Reston.
