I'm wondering if at first it wasn't an attack on the young girl but was reported later as one along with a home invasion. The video clearly shows someone letting him out of the door, maybe he got caught with the young girl? JMO

I wonder if Rachel knew him from a dating website or something

 

[Ontario Mom]

You called it.

Happy to have guessed wrong, and hope they catch this vile monster. Before he does it again.

My guess is the girl who was assaulted in LA provided a physical description of the suspect, but because the perpetrator evidently hasn't been arrested previously, their DNA hasn't been entered into CODIS under his name.

The person who let him out of the house could have given them his name and then the police could have told us his name.

“We believe this was a person that Rachel didn’t know and was possibly a random act of violence,” Davis said.

“We don’t have any clue where he could be. We don’t even know if he’s still in the state of Maryland.”

I am glad it wasn't someone who knew her, I'm sure that puts her family at ease. This is going to be a manhunt now. Very scary and I'm concerned that he has left the state and will attack someone/somewhere else. GET EM LE.....

 

[waldojabba]

Someone ask him who the other person was in that video!!

So weird noone asked who shut the door as the guy was leaving? Yikes - Assuming it was the victim and he was telling her not to call LE or he was coming back to kill her ? Also assuming she must have been the only person in the house ? Or I just don't know JMO

 

[Perky]

I think the perp would have left the area. Hopefully somebody can identify him from the video. Only other thing that might helpful would be if he was in the area and working, maybe businesses could see if anybody suddenly left that might match a Latino man of his age and size.
I'm not confident this will end in a quick arrest. And I'm worried he might do it again somewhere else.

 

[Inthedetails]

Right, so why don't they know his name?

Because the case in LA is unsolved.

Thank you DNA database! LE might get to solve two cases at once. Fingers crossed someone recognizes him and calls in.

May be able to narrow the possibilities down based on his description, also the fitness center, he looked fit in the video.

 

[Peppery]

This is good info. Someone, or many people, know a guy who looks like him who was in CA in March and MD in August. That’s not a quick or cheap trip. Reg flags are going up and I hope someone is brave enough to speak out.

The person who let him out of the house could have given them his name and then the police could have told us his name.

At the press conference they said it was home invasion so I doubt the person who opened the door knew his name. Total speculation, but I wonder if he entered the woman's room in the house in LA through a window/sliding glass door and then was escorted out the front door after someone else in the house heard what was going on.

That's the only thing I can think of, but it's weird she would be seeing him to the door.

Looks like he might work out...hopefully they'll be looking at RM's gym. That haircut, if he still has it, is distinctive IMO. I really hope someone recognizes him quickly!

 

[Normancita]

I think genealogy DNA is the best bet at identifying him…

 

[Bounceycat]

That haircut, if he still has it, is distinctive IMO

It looks somewhat military style. Could be someone who was stationed in CA, now in the Balt/DC area. JMHO and speculation.

 

[Peppery]

I got the impression the California victim was quite young, but then seeing the video made me think the perp wasn’t worried about getting away quickly. Odd

No, I didn't mean to come off as a jokester. I sincerely believe your take was 100% on. Whole lotta nothing to ascertain from this presser.

True but the people who know him will not necessarily be aware of the case. I have mentioned the case to a couple friends who follow A lot of news sources (online and TV) and they never heard of the case. Most people are not true crime buffs.
