They have witnesses, they even have his DNA, but police are still trying to identify the man responsible for a series of terrifying late-night attacks on women across south-eastern Queensland.
The mystery perpetrator is responsible for four assaults in Logan and the northern suburbs of the Gold Coast between 2008 and February this year, but police believe he could be behind at least four more.
The most recent attack targeted an international student living in a Southport unit complex, leaving her neighbourhood on edge.
“We are locking our doors tighter, jumping at every noise – the police need to catch this man,” one neighbour told The Gold Coast Bulletin.
However, in one of the four confirmed cases, he was disturbed by the victim in her Springwood kitchen, where he restrained and threatened her before fleeing.
“All four assaults have occurred at night time, two around midnight and two around 3am. The age of the women assaulted has ranged from in their 20s, 30s, 50s and 60s,” she said.
“Our detectives and intel analysts are continuing to work-up and add to our profile on this offender, including examining police reports on sexual assaults that have occurred.”
