For the first time in the Jessica Ridgeway murder case, investigators released the description of man who used a chemical-soaked rag in an unsuccessful attempt to abduct a 22-year-old woman near Ketner Lake on May 28.
Police stressed in their announcement on Thursday that are linking the two cases in "an attempt to uncover any lead" in the Jessica Ridgeway's Oct. 5 abduction and subsequent murder and dismemberment.
"Police are trying to determine if there is any connection between the two cases," authorities said in a bulletin to media Thursday afternoon.
Ketner Lake Open Space is only about a half-mile from Jessica's home...
...On May 28 the young woman said she was grabbed by a man described as white or light-skinned and between 18 and 30 years old, with brown hair and a medium build. He was about 5 feet, 8 inches tall.
The woman had initially jogged past the man, police said, then he grabbed her from behind "trying to put a rag over her mouth. She said the rag had a chemical smell on it. She was able to get away and called 911 from her cell phone."
Law enforcement has no description of a vehicle related to that case, police aid.
Police have said they had no information connecting Jessica's case to any other previous metro area abduction cases .
Westminster police also are looking at other attempted abductions in the Denver metro area to see whether those suspects could have been involved in Jessica's kidnapping on Oct. 5 , followed by the discovery of her body 11 miles away in an Arvada open space on Oct. 9....
I don't know that a guy who was after a 22-year-old would also want to go after a child. Would a guy who failed going after a grown woman abduct a child for practice?[/b][/align]
