Karen and thomas. Lauren, thanks very much. It is 5 06. New Castle Police are searching for a man who attempted to kidnap and rob a woman at her own apartment complex. Last month there were two other similar incidents in that exact same area. Investigators think those same suspects are behind all three. Lets get out to steve keeley whoes there with the latest on all this. Steve, i bet so many woman are really worried. Reporter we have the word that we dont like using and dont overly use it but this word is definitely going to state in this case. They have a serial style kidnapper on their hand in New Castle County. You can bet that the police are going to take this even more seriously then they already were. I talked to them after the second one and they were doing everything that they could back then, while New Castle County police say that this is the same guy, and he came here this time, and third time, pulling a gun on a young woman , living in this large apartment complex. We will pan around here. She was out here in this dark parking lot not a lot of light where cars parked only on the buildings as she gets out of her cara approaching her building. Notice her building is way in the back. There may be 20 buildings like this in this huge complex. Look to the left of her building, dark wood. He chose this building, the reason and just waited for somebody to come home. How long he has been here stalking this victim . Who knows. He could have watched her return home a lot. By the way all three attacks always happening at the same time, in the same hour, february 13th, 19th and last night, between 6 30 and 7 45 right after dinner time when sun goes down. Two on monday nights first one and last night, one in between , the sunday night right after the first attack and then that sunday before president s day. The difference though this time, he pulls a gun on the woman in the parking lot. They go in the out are door which looks like a boardwalk kind of. They go in that door with eight apartments. Three Story Building and stairwell up and down. We dont know what floor she lives on but as they go into her door this woman apparently lives with a man. Police were not specific, husband, boyfriend, roommate. Seeing and hearing that guy as they open up the apartment door this attacker gets scared off and runs away. Now look at our video. We showed video, and police are hoping he ran out and maybe had given a stiff arm to that front grass door with the metal railing on the way out, if not wearing gloves, may have left a good palm print or fingerprint so the detectives are fingerprint dust still very visible on the door left from their investigation that went almost to midnight last night. As soon as that 911 call came in heres our video number two from sky fox you can see police hit this area to preserve at the walk with a new name over the sign, hoping to get guy, or a witness who saw his getaway vehicle as he hauled out of here. He hit would the man, sexually assaulted them in their apartments, kidnaps them over an hour, made them drive to bank atms to withdraw cash this last one ran away, at the fourth atm that he had stopped at on february 19th and then lengthily let the first victim go. Police told us on february 20th the day after president s day when we were down here, in the morning show , the second a taj within six days of the first they were putting a full court press on this case. Karen and thomas, you can expect even more attention now and expect another big news conference, likely later today to get out a big warning again and then any other details that may help catch this guy before number four happens. Well, certainly has to have more eyes looking no matter what and more awareness. Steve, thanks very much.
