So this morning I was skimming through Drudge Report (like I do every morning) and I saw an article about a so-called "Craigslist Rapist" that peaked my interest. I started reading it and realized the attacks were in Prince George's County (where we just moved). It was a really long article but at the bottom of the page it said:
"Police set up a sting operation the next day. When Humphries entered the room, he and his .22-caliber would find a SWAT team. But Humphries cased the hotel and apparently spotted an undercover officer, police said. He entered the front lobby and moments later was seen sprinting across a rear parking lot.
He escaped, but police moved in. They raided his apartment in the *** block of ***** Road in Suitland and found the Craigslist ad for that night and two cellphones stolen in earlier attacks.
Humphries was on the run and seemed desperate. " (I deleted the exact address for safety reasons)
That's why the police were at my apartment last week!! They were raiding the apartment of a serial rapist who had attacked 9 women at gunpoint!! And he lived right above me!! The story went on to say that the suspect killed himself a few days later at another location. So I guess I should feel better knowing that he's dead and definitely won't be coming back to his old apartment. But still, I'm totally spooked now and afraid to be home alone at night, even for just a couple hours. We'll just have to trust that God will protect us there.
Lesson learned... don't move to the ghetto. Even if it saves you alot of money, trust me, it's not worth it!
