Update: some reports describe the suspect as a 35-year-old black man who has what the woman described as an “African accent.”
A little after midnight Friday morning a man reportedly broke into a home near Ferndale at Kitridge, 10800 block of Ferndale, breaking and entering through a window, and raped a woman at knifepoint. He also stole the victim’s iPhone.
Details on the police report are scant, partly due to the nature of the crime, but according to a news report on NBC 5 at 5 p.m., the suspect is still at large and police have spent time today scouring the surrounding neighborhoods.
A neighbor of the victim told NBC reporter Ellen Goldberg that a man knocked on her door yesterday and asked for “the lady of the house”, a detail that could be a potential clue about the suspect.
I haven’t been able to get a description of the suspect if there is one yet, I will continue to post as we learn more.
