On January 11, 2010, a female victim was walking on Dr. Martin Luther King at Blackstone to the 5300 block of Minerva when she accepted a ride from a unknown male occupying a grey or “blue-ish” vehicle. The male subsequently sodomized, raped and robbed her at knifepoint inside his vehicle which he had parked in the alley near Union and Wells. Officers Frichtl and Murphy initiated the investigation and obtained valuable suspect and vehicle descriptors before relinquishing the investigation to the Sex Crimes Division.
The next evening, January 12, 2010 the Officers spoke to several people walking on Dr. Martin Luther King between Kingshighway and Blackstone and theorized that the suspect may be operating in that geographic region. The Officers focused their attention mainly in that area when not busy handling radio assignments. Their prudence paid off when they observed a vehicle being occupied by an unknown male with similar plates as described by the victim. The Officers stopped the vehicle after it was discovered the plates to have been stolen and observed the male occupant to be in possession of a knife and cell phone, which was later determined to have been stolen from the victim the previous evening. Sex Crimes Division was notified and resumed the investigaiton.
