Reward:
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the identity, arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this series of violent sexual assaults. A substantial amount of additional reward money may be available from other law enforcement entities.
Details:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation along with the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, Prince George's County Police Department, Montgomery County Police Department, Greenbelt Police Department, and Arlington County Police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying an individual responsible for a series of sexual assaults in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
Between August 22, 1998, and February 6, 2006, a serial rapist violently assaulted six to nine women in the Washington D.C. area. Six of these attacks have been linked by DNA to a single offender, and suspicious activity was reported in five additional area hotels which may also be related. In the vast majority of these cases, hotel housekeepers were victimized. The unknown individual would enter hotel rooms unnoticed and rape housekeepers while they were cleaning. In several of the incidents, the suspect used a box cutter, a necktie, or a cord to threaten and harm his victims.
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS
Submit a Tip:
Law enforcement agencies are asking anyone with information to contact the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department at (202) 727-9099 or anonymously TEXT the MPD Text Tip Line at 50411. You may also contact your local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov. All tips can remain anonymous.

Thoughts? Surprised I never heard of this case before. Hate to go this route but part of me wonders if the majority of his victims had been well-to-do clientele staying in the hotel instead of the housekeepers if the attacks would have gotten more publicity. (The answer seems rather obvious). In any case, kudos to the FBI at least for publicizing and getting the word out there about this horrific rapist.
