Police Search For Serial Rapist

Investigators said they are looking for a serial rapist and robbery suspect who has attacked at least 19 victims.

Police said the home invasions began in 2005, with victims in at least six cities. They admit that the culprit, with his intellect and evasiveness, is unlike any criminal they have ever seen.

“He thinks he's one step ahead of us, but what he doesn't know is we're close behind,” Frisco police Sgt. Gina McFarlin said.

The culprit’s latest victim – a Frisco woman - is in the hospital with multiple stab wounds, police said. Frisco police are the next in line to catch the person who they say seems to move to a different city whenever police close in.

“We're talking about 19 cases, most of them with sexual assaults, one murder, at least two shootings and now a stabbing,” McFarlin said.

Investigators said the little DNA evidence they recovered has not produced a match, meaning the culprit has likely not been to prison for a felony.

Police have video of the person using the Frisco woman’s debit card in Southlake. He keeps his face hidden, but police said they hope the Franklin athletic gloves he wears will lead to information helpful in identifying him.

“We're looking for that one big break and that's why we're asking for the communities help,” McFarlin said. “He's a dangerous individual we know we have to get him off the street.”

Another thing that sets this attacker apart from others is the amount of time he spends with the victims, police said. He sometimes spends an hour or more with his victims, investigators said, sometimes even forcing them to drive around to automated teller machines.
