Lakewood police have released a sketch of a man they believe raped a woman at her apartment last week.
The attack happened Friday morning around 7:30 a.m. at the The Village at Seeley Lake Apartments on 59th Avenue SW.
The 23-year-old woman had just come home to her apartment and was stepping into the shower when she heard a knock on her door, said Lt. Chris Lawler with Lakewood Police.
"Looked through the peep hole and could see a guy that looked to be fairly decently dressed, and clean," Lawler said. "And he said, ' I'm maintenance.' "
Detectives say she opened the door just a crack to tell him she didn't call for maintenance when the man forced his way in. She screamed and fought back, but he had a gun, overpowered her, then pushed her into the bathroom and raped her, Lawler said.
The attacker is described as white, in his late 30s to early 40s. He's 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 180-200 pounds with an athletic/muscular build.
The victim told detectives her attacker has short dark brown or black hair, tan complexion, thin dark mustache with a few gray hairs and laugh line wrinkles. He was wearing a dark baseball hat that sat high on his head, a dark colored polo shirt, and light colored blue jeans with dirt/discoloration on the front of both thighs, Lawler said.
"It is scary for us because we don't want there to be any other victims," Lawler said. "So we're doing everything we can to figure out who this guy is."
Detectives are looking for information on this suspect or any information about suspicious persons, vehicles or incidents in the area prior to the assault. Tips can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers at 253-591-5959, where you can be eligible for a cash reward, or the Lakewood Police Department's Investigations Tip Line at 253-830-5064.
