The Washington Post is reporting this week on a serial rapist who has been connected to at least a dozen attacks along the eastern seaboard of the United States over the last thirteen years.
The suspect's involvement is confirmed in 12 attacks in in Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island and suspected in at least 5 more. His most recent attack occurred on October 31, 2009, when he forced three trick-or-treating high school girls into a wooded ravine at gunpoint.

The man studies women carefully. He watches them leave for work and walk home from the mall, and he notices whether they lock their windows and doors. He knows when they are most vulnerable and when they are home alone with their children. He stalks them in neighborhoods he knows well.
Then he rapes them and vanishes.
He is the East Coast Rapist. And police know so much about this man. They even have his DNA. But when it comes right down to it, he is a frustrating mystery. No one has been able to find him.
His attacks have spanned 13 years, beginning in Prince George's County in the late 1990s, moving into Virginia and then up to New England.
Now he has been back to Northern Virginia.
The suspect's involvement is confirmed in 12 attacks in in Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island and suspected in at least 5 more. His most recent attack occurred on October 31, 2009, when he forced three trick-or-treating high school girls into a wooded ravine at gunpoint.
