After speaking with the 18-year-old victim of an alleged rape at the Hamilton Creek Recreation Center, authorities said they believe they have a better idea of the type of vehicle the suspect fled in.
The incident happened between noon and 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 4.
The victim has told officials the suspect fled in a black 2000’s model Japanese-type car with a tan interior. She added the car was dirty with a radio antenna on the front.
According to reports, the victim also remembered there may be a potential witness who saw the man flee to his car following the rape. She described the witness as a man with blonde hair. He was sitting in a parked silver Chevrolet Camaro-type car.
The victim said she saw him as she came out of the woods near the trailhead following the attack.
Authorities said they’ve been pursuing active leads.
A sketch released of the suspect on August 5 (pictured below, left) closely resembled a sketch released in a separate rape that happened July 20 on Hickory Hollow Place (right).
The suspect in the August 4 rape has been described as a man of Hispanic descent, standing around 5’6’’ to 5’8’’ tall. He was wearing khaki pants, a black shirt with possible black stripes, and sunglasses.
Anyone with information on the suspect has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463 or the Sex Crimes Unit at 615-862-7540.
