In a shocking turn of events, a 16-year-old boy from Scottsdale, Arizona has been taken into custody for the alleged rape of two women, one of whom is his neighbor in their shared apartment building. Police have used DNA evidence to connect the boy to the assaults, which occurred a week apart on October 18 and 24. However, due to his juvenile status, his name has not been made public, and it is uncertain whether he will be tried as an adult.
Authorities have charged the boy with sexual assault, kidnapping, and burglary, and there is reason to believe that he may be involved in more crimes in the area. The Scottsdale community played a crucial role in leading the police to the suspect, providing a tip that eventually led to his arrest. The suspect’s DNA was already in the police database due to his previous criminal activities, although further information about these crimes has not been released.
As part of the ongoing investigation, DNA testing is still being conducted, with additional samples collected from the suspect’s home through a search warrant. The DNA samples already on file have already been matched to both of the assaults. The victims, unfortunately, were unable to identify the suspect in a line-up, but there are similarities between his appearance and a composite sketch based on the first victim’s description.
Both attacks followed a similar pattern, with the assailant entering first-floor apartments through unlocked patio doors of women living alone. The first assault occurred at 11 p.m. on October 18, with the assailant entering the apartment while the 49-year-old woman was showering, proceeding to rape her. He fled the scene without any clothes on. The second assault took place at 11:30 p.m. on October 24, in a nearby apartment building. The 29-year-old victim was sitting near the door in a nightgown when the assailant broke in.
In a surprising twist, a 22-year-old man who was previously arrested for these crimes has been exonerated by the police. Forensic evidence did not match the DNA samples collected from the crime scene, leading to his release. The entire community has been on high alert as the investigation unfolded, with law enforcement urging residents to secure their homes and ensure their safety. The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5-feet 7-inches tall, with an athletic build.
