Heres what has been reported in the Columbus news media about Andrew Morrison, the new POI in this case.
Chillicothe ex-con charged in attack on woman near Lockbourne
A convicted rapist from Ross County is suspected in a series of sexual assaults that occurred this summer in southern Franklin County, deputies say.
A description of a gold Buick and a partial license plate proved instrumental in the identification of Morrison as a suspect.
Morrison was convicted in 1990 of committing similar crimes in Franklin County.
Morrison, who then lived in Grove City, spent 13 years in prison for the two attacks. He was released in 2004.

Police Investigating If Sexual Assault Suspect Has More Victims
Investigators in Franklin County call him a serial sexual predator. They're investigating seven reports of sexual assaults and attempted sexual assaults in southern Franklin County during July and August.
Morrison has a history of sexual violence.
In 1990, he was convicted of kidnapping two different women at gunpoint, and raping one of them. He served 13 years in prison.
Now he is back behind bars and investigators are wondering just how long his list of victims may be.

I want to mention that the area in southern Franklin County where the attacks occurred is in a very rural area that is east of U.S. Route 23 and about a mile from the Franklin-Pickaway County line.
I also happen to recall that during the past 25 years or so, several females have been found murdered in that area of southern Franklin County.
