Other than the headline, I see nothing indicating anything about a serial rapist. LJW reporting at their finest. If you listen carefully, you can tell that at no time has the police implied that this rape was currently linked to any other rape. It's just typical media fearmongering.

Well, Ragingbear, we all know you are privy to the police evidence and know what is happening. Regardless, fellow women, always keep your doors locked and be aware of what is going on around you.
ps The headline and story are mixed up. At least it's not the story that appeared in print.

The police should have been warning the community months ago.

I saw a story about this on the channel 5 news several days ago. WTH? You'd think the local news would have this information first.

Unfortunately, if the local news is detrimental to Lawrence, one has to go outside the area for information. It is too bad that public safety is less important than bad publicity.
