A teenage girl told investigators she could not get out of the man's car because the door handle was either broken or manipulated so it would not work, the Sheriff's Office said.
The first incident involved an 11-year-old girl on the Westside. She was walking just after 3 p.m. on Aug. 17 in the area of Chaffee and Old Plank roads when a man in a red vehicle drove up from behind and stopped next to her, the Sheriff's Office said. The driver started talking to the girl, saying he had"candy in the back seat of my car, if you want to get in," according to the incident report.Someone showed up to tell the man to leave and he did, the report said.
As she turned to get away, she heard footsteps from behind. The man, wearing a black ski mask with mouth and eye openings cut out, grabbed, then forced her into the vehicle, her report said.She told investigators she could not get out because the inside front passenger door handle was either broken or manipulated so it would not work, the Sheriff's Office said. The girl was taken to Cisco Gardens Park on Jones Road and sexually assaulted.
The girl was allowed to get dressed and given a McDonald’s drink cup and asked to get water, according to her report. Instead, she fled after getting out of the car through the back door, dropping the cup by a tree as she went to a nearby fire station to get help.In both instances, the Sheriff's Office said the man was described as mixed or bi-racial with a deep voice and green eyes.
The younger girl described the vehicle as a red newer-model four-door crossover or SUV, possibly a Mazda CX-5, with no window tint on the front windows. There appears to be a dent on the front corner of the driver’s side in a surveillance image.
