Crime Scene - Police looking for serial rapist: "Police have linked the rape of two girls who were trick-or-treating in Dale City on Halloween to a series of sexual assaults that have taken place up and down the east coast since 1997.
At a news conference going on now, Prince William and Fairfax police say the Halloween rapes are linked to at least four rapes in Fairfax County between 1999 and 2001, several in Prince George's County, one in Leesburg and several in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Police used DNA to make the connections to at least 12 rapes in all.
In the Prince William assault, police say three teenage Dale City girls returning from a night of trick-or-treating were forced into the woods, where two of them were sexually assaulted by an unknown man.
The three girls were walking near Glendale Plaza on Dale Boulevard about 9 p.m. when they were approached by a man with a gun, Prince William County police said at the time. The man ordered the girls to lie on the ground in a wooded area and then raped a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old in the group, police said. The third girl, 16, was not sexually assaulted.
The Fairfax assaults all occurred in the Alexandria area of the county, mainly on the Route 1 corridor."
