CHILD PREDATOR LINKED TO ASSAULT CASES
On September 19, 1999, a ten-year-old girl was walking down a street in Central City, Pennsylvania with two of her friends when a man drove up to them, got out of his car and asked for directions. Suddenly, he grabbed the girl, threw her over his shoulder and drove off. Cops found the little girl several hours later in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, 50 miles away from Central City and just north of the West Virginia border. She was scared, but alive. She had been assaulted.
Luckily, the girl remembered a lot about her abductor. She told investigators the man wore a distinctive t-shirt with a cartoon alien on it, and described his car. Police believe it was a teal-colored Geo Metro. The child was able to give police a good enough description of the man for them to create a sketch.
Police believe the same man had tried to strike two other times in nearby communities, but was unsucessful. On July 11, 1999, a man tried to lure two young girls into his car with money; they ran off. On September 10, 1999, police say the same man showed a little girl a gun and told her to get in his car; she ran off as well.
Using DNA evidence, cops have recently connected the Central City Kidnapper to a 1988 abduction case in Hagerstown, Maryland. Now, they're trying to see if they can link this suspect to any other similar cases.
