You don't have the sense you're safe in the city. One woman, who wants to remain anonymous, recently learned a serial rapist is attacking women in her neighborhood. When I found out what the parameters were, I kinda' freaked out because that's where I trained for a marathon. As a single woman living alone, she wants to be sure others like her realize they, too, are at risk. Already, a rapist has attacked five women in apartments surrounded by Royal Lane, University Boulevard, Skillman and Hillcrest Road.
Police say one way the rapist is able to strike is through doors that are being left unlocked.
Dallas Police Lt. Debra Knapp says the rapist could strike any day. She also warns women, living in apartments, to be on the look out. One woman says she's much more careful no longer absentminded about her keys even if she comes home tired. Here are a few more reminders from police.
