Charlottesville Police reported Friday that preliminary DNA tests of the Jan. 11 rapist who attacked a woman in the city's Belmont Park section were inconclusive, Charlottesville Police Sgt. David Jones said.
The results neither prove nor disprove that the Jan. 11 rapist is the Charlottesville serial rapist, Jones said. Further testing will be conducted to officially determine whether the crime is one of the serial rapist's or an unrelated incident.
The description of the attacker has been further detailed to include a clothing account. The suspect, a 5-foot-10-inch African-American male of about 20-25 years and a medium build, was also wearing a blue jacket with white piping and a dark fleece short brimmed hat with a white emblem or writing on it.
"We're hoping that if someone saw someone wearing those clothes that night, they might remember it and call us," Jones said. "We have no additional information available at this time."
