LOS ANGELES : Reward in Rape Cases Increased to $16,000
The reward now stands at $16,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the rapist who attacked two elderly women in San Gabriel and Alhambra.
The Board of Supervisors has approved a $10,000 reward for information on the attacks. That amount is in addition to a $6,000 reward offered last week by the Alhambra school board.
The first attack occurred at 11:45 p.m. Oct. 1 in San Gabriel, when a 73-year-old woman was raped in her home. The victim was watching television in the living room when the attacker entered through an open bedroom window, officers said.
Police have circulated a composite drawing of the suspect, whom they described as a Latino in his mid 20s, 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 160 pounds, with black hair a mustache and slicked-back hair.
The second assault occurred about dawn Oct. 5. The 74-year-old victim was attacked as she exercised at the San Gabriel High School track, police said.
