In August of 2004, a 62-year-old woman was sexually assaulted while walking on the bicycle pathnear the Wethersfield High School football field. The attacker grabbed her from behind and told her to stop screaming or he would kill her. The assailant also stated he had a knife. The attacker pushed the victim off the path to the west, covering her face with a red sweatshirt and telling her not to look at him or he would kill her. The attacker stated that he knew where she lived and knew the woods.
After sexually assaulting the victim, the attacker tied her hands loosely behind her back, instructed her to lay there until he whistled, and left. The victim was able to free herself and run for help after 15 minutes. The attacker was described as an Hispanic man,5-foot-6 inches tall, weighing 145-165 pounds, with "bronze" skin, almond shaped eyes and very dark, thick hair. He spoke fluent English with a Spanish accent.
On October 30, 2007, a Hispanic male, appearing to be 20-29 years old, wearing a dark blue shirt and pants and a dark colored hat entered the apartment of an 86-old woman in Winter Park, Florida, and sexually battered her. The suspect saw the victim through her bedroom window, came inside through an unlocked door, pushed her on the bed and sexually assaulted her for approximately 15 minutes while physically restraining her. The suspect stole her purse when he fled.
DNA evidence linked both attacks to the same, unidentified man. The Wethersfield Police Department, Cold Case Unit of the Chief State's Attorney's Office and authorities in Winter Park, Florida, are seeking public assistance in identifying the assailant.

Thoughts? We have a serial rapist that finally needs to be identified and captured, since he's gotten away with these two horrible crimes for 12 years. Since he's struck in two different geographical regions of the United States, he could be anywhere in the country in 2016, or even still in Florida since it's a large state. It's even more concerning since he specifically targets elderly women who are not as able to defend themselves.
