Now, he's at it again. Most recently, he forced his way into the home of a woman who was letting her dogs outside. A few hours later, he was waiting inside a 53 year old woman's home when she returned from work. Can you even imagine? The police have released a composite sketch. The women attacked agree that he is over 6 feet tall, weighs about 250, has acne scars on his cheeks, has bad breath (no, I'm not kidding), and smells like exhaust. Come on, KCPD. Shouldn't the "smelling like exhaust" part be a huge clue?
The Waldo library offered a free self-defense class today at noon. Various classes will be held throughout the week. The KCMO Police Department is holding two public meetings

In the meantime, I'm so mad at this guy, I could spit nails. I don't worry about myself as much as I do my friends who live closer to the neighborhoods he's been striking. It's infuriating to me that these women have started carrying mace with them inside their houses, sleeping (or trying to) with all their lights on, and are afraid to enter their own homes. It's infuriating to me that this guy watches his victims, becomes familiar with their routines and attacks them.
And it will continue to infuriate me until they catch him.
Until then, keep your eyes and ears open, be aware of your surroundings, look out for your single female neighbors and pray they catch this guy soon.
Sorry there's nothing funny in my post this time, but all I can think about lately is all the ugliness this man has caused. Keep your fingers crossed--I want him off the streets soon.
We all do.
Is the police sketch any good? Most of them are no help at all (like those grainy 'surveilance' videos that look like black and gray blurs) Keep safe and get a German Shepherd. I don't think mace or a taser is a bad idea either.

Suzanne B and I were talking about the likelihood of us injuring ourselves in an attempt to stay safe, what with misdirected pepper-spray and accidental self-tazing. I suggested protective eyewear and she wants to know where she can get tiny goggles for her kitty-cats.
ReplyDeleteI swear, I'm so paranoid--yesterday, i saw my neighbor open her front door to a big guy in a sweatshirt and coat and thought "What is the matter with you, Lady? Don't you know what's going on?" I was just about to call the cops when I realized there was a TimeWarner van parked in front of her house.
I don't do well with criminals on the loose. And you can quote me on that.
Can you imagine me calling 911 on a guy who was just trying to do his job? Lord. Between that and almost tazing myself, I hope this crime spree ends quickly.
Scary! I really have not seen anything about this on the news and that is so annoying! I'll keep Wrigley on high alert, she'll keep our street safe. :)
