Man sought in rape and attacks
Friday October 24, 2008
Police said yesterday they were searching for the man who raped a woman in her home and who might also have assaulted three other women in Center City and South Philadelphia in the last week.
"We don't know that all of these cases are absolutely linked . . . but what we have is an emerging pattern," said Capt. John Darby of Special Victims. The victims have provided similar descriptions of their knife-wielding attacker.
The latest attack happened about 11 p.m. Wednesday near Pennsylvania Hospital. A man hiding in a hallway of a five-story apartment building in the 900 block of Clinton Street forced a woman, 25, and her boyfriend, 29, into her apartment, bound and gagged them, terrorized them for nearly two hours, and raped the woman. He also robbed them.
About the same time of night on Tuesday, a 22-year-old woman was followed into her apartment building in the 1100 block of Lombard Street by a masked man with a knife. He fled when she screamed, alerting neighbors.
The two other incidents were knifepoint muggings in South Philadelphia: about 7 p.m. Wednesday in the 1300 block of South Clarion Street; and about 7:45 p.m. Saturday in the 700 block of South 12th Street. The victims were young women who had been walking alone.
The attacker in each case was described as about 30, with a medium-brown complexion, about 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall with a medium build.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 215-685-3251 or 215-686-8477 (TIPS).

How to See Deer
by Philip Booth
Forget roadside crossings.
Go nowhere with guns.
Go elsewhere your own way,
lonely and wanting. Or
stay and be early:
next to deep woods
inhabit old orchards.
All clearings promise.
Sunrise is good,
and fog before sun.
Expect nothing always;
find your luck slowly.
Wait out the windfall.
Take your good time
to learn to read ferns;
make like a turtle:
downhill toward slow water.
Instructed by heron,
drink the pure silence.
Be compassed by wind.
If you quiver like aspen
trust your quick nature:
let your ear teach you
which way to listen.
You've come to assume
protective color; now
colors reform to
new shapes in your eye.
You've learned by now
to wait without waiting;
as if it were dusk
look into light falling:
in deep relief
things even out. Be
careless of nothing. See
what you see.
