Incident Previously Reported as an Attempted Child Abduction is Downgraded

Press Release Dated April 11, 2011 Subsequent to an initial report of an attempted child abduction occurring on March 25, police detectives conducted detailed interviews with the alleged victim, re-canvassed the area where the incident allegedly took place, and have worked with a composite sketch artist to help identify the adult male subject. Through those efforts, detectives acknowledge there was some type of physical contact between the reporting party and adult male subject; however, the encounter, as reported, does not meet the legal criteria or contain the criminal elements necessary for the case to be categorized as an attempted kidnapping. The Department continues to explore other explanations for the incident and witnesses, if any, are still encouraged to come forward. The subject portrayed in the composite sketch (attached) remains unidentified and has been classified as a person of interest. Investigators remain hopeful they will be able to determine his identity. Full Press Release Sketch
