Murfreesboro Police have released a new composite sketch of a suspect in the brutal rape of an 85 year old woman.

Police say the suspect showed up at the woman's home on Sunset Avenue on November 14th with a silver handgun.  He then walked into her garage where she was cleaning her car windows, and raped her.

The man ran away after taking $65 and her flip phone from her. 

Neighbors say they've been particularly cautious as the rapist remains on the run.

"Yes, always coming in and out of our cars, we always think about it, especially if we come in late at night," said Anna Hunigan.

Police have stepped up patrols along sunset avenue in Murfreesboro.

If you have any information about the rape suspect, call Rutherford County Crime Stoppers at 615-893-STOP.  You can get up to $2,000 if your tip leads to an arrest.
