The two most recent rapes happened less than two weeks ago. And like five previous attacks, police say the attacker gains entrance through unlocked doors. Mary Cotham makes sure her place is secure and is careful to exercise before nightfall or with friends. Women are warned to lock their doors even when they make quick trips to take out the trash. They are advised to keep a close watch to make sure no one is following them.
Police say the attacker searches for victims and then slips into unlocked doors.
Women in the area are on high alert. I have heard several difference incidences, they have sent out newsletters and I have been afraid to walk at night to really, so I get my walking done before it gets too late. Police say the rapist is so bold the attacks have happened in broad daylight. Police have not released a description or a composite sketch.
