“The investigation revealed a store clerk, identified as a then-50-year-old woman, was working at the location when she went to use the restroom. An unknown man followed the victim into the restroom where she was bound and sexually assaulted at knifepoint.”
“After the incident, the suspect fled the business and was not immediately located. The case eventually was transferred to Cold Case where, in 2021, the investigation was reviewed, and new investigative leads were followed through advancements in DNA/genealogical testing and research.”
