(Stafford)- The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation of a sexual assault that occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, October 31, along State Route 3/Kings Highway in Stafford. To date, approximately 100 leads have been supplied by the public. Multiple detectives are actively investigating these leads. Other law enforcement agencies are also assisting with this investigation. Today the Crime Solvers reward was increased from $1000.00 to $2500.00.
We ask the public to look closely, again, at the composite drawing of the suspect and the photo of the shirt he left behind at the scene. Someone may have seen him on Sunday evening, October 30 or early Monday morning wearing the shirt pictured below.
The shirt is a white, orange and blue plaid “American Living” shirt, size L. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male approximately 30 years old, 5’8” to 5’9”, weighing approximately 170 to 180 lbs. He has black hair and a short black beard. He was wearing light colored blue jeans and a sleeveless white tank top under the orange, blue and white plaid long sleeved shirt (pictured below.) He spoke Spanish and broken English. The suspect vehicle was described as a dark colored SUV. The dark colored SUV would have been parked on the right hand side of the State Route 3 (Eastbound) between the cross streets of Forest Lane Road and Michael Scott Lane (water treatment plant) between the hours of 2:30 a.m. – 5:00 a.m.
