Attacker On The Loose - STILL

Have you seen this man?

On Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at the hour of 6:00 a.m. this man broke into a home on New York Avenue, stole items and assaulted the homeowner.

He is approximately 19-22 years of age.
He is about 5'7" to 6-ft tall and very thin - you can see his tendons thru his skin on his arms, and his facial cheeks are sunken in - very very muscular.
He is African American, but a light "brown" vs. black skin color. He has a large nose but not wide spread.
He has no facial hair, moles, scars, .... very "clean" looking.
He has very nice straight white teeth.
His eyes are very round with dilated pupils and lots of white space.
He also has long thin fingers with nails that appear to have been manicured.
(description provided by the victim)

He has been seen repeatedly in and around N. Division Street between Walnut St to New York Ave, mostly around Lehigh - Philadelphia. He has also been seen near and going in the 2nd house in on N. Division from Philadelphia. Another location where he has been seen visiting is 221 New York Avenue. The police have been notified each time he has been seen in the area yet, no action on the part of police.

The attacker knows his way around Johnson Lake & Newtown well and has the ability to just vanish when he knows he is being followed or observed. He has vanished on Walnut and on Lehigh going towards Rt. 13 in and around some run down houses.

It took the Salisbury Police Dept 90 days to set an appointment with Dr. Kim, head of the art department at Salisbury University, to do an artists rendering of this criminal? Why, what took so long?

Former neighbors of the victim heard her screaming from her window for help. The wife called the police and stayed on the line with them while her husband was brave enough to follow the attacker up New York Avenue. He saw the attacker go behind the 2nd house from the corner of New York on Division St. The neighbors husband saw where the attacker went, got a very clear description of him. He then relayed all of this information to the police at 6:30 a.m. The police never went to the house on Division St until 2:30 p.m. The attacker was not at the location 8 HOURS LATER. The victim has seen the attacker again in her neighborhood, called the police, when they finally arrive, they go in the residence, come out and say "It's not him". NEVER do they ask the victim to make an identification. NEVER is she given the opportunity to make an identification.

When the victim asked the police to take fingerprints from her home she was told they were not equipped to do that. What police agency does not have access to a crime lab or other agency that is equipped to lift fingerprints? Then Chief Webster visits the victim, 10 hours later, at 4:30 p.m.. Miraculously they have the ability to lift fingerprints at 6:30 p.m., 12 hours after the crime was committed. By this time, after being told they had no way to lift prints, the victim cleaned up the mess left by the attacker. The victim asked Chief Webster many times WHY his men did NOT follow up ASAP and his reply was ...."I don't know, don't have an answer, perhaps change of shifts...." An answer like that will certainly promote confidence in the police. NOT!!! Although Chief Webster is convinced this was a random crime it is no excuse for the lackadaisical attitude displayed by him, the highest ranking police officer in the city.
