''In September 1998, a 48-year-old woman was jogging on a bike path in the Fair Lakes area of Fairfax County, Virginia when she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man who implied he had a knife. After assaulting the woman, the man fled from the area on foot. Two years later in August 2000, at approximately 11:00pm, the unknown man forced his way into a home on Parkside Drive in Fairfax, Virginia where he attacked and assaulted a 66-year-old woman. The woman was asleep when she awoke to the man assaulting her. She was able to fight the suspect and escaped from him by jumping from a second story balcony and running away. In December 2004, the unknown man was observed exposing himself outside of a woman's home in Burke, Virginia. The woman spotted the man through a sliding glass door located in her basement. The woman yelled and the man ran away.

In each of these cases, DNA evidence was collected from the crime scenes.''
