Potential leads as police investigate “disturbing” attack

The woman was found along the 2000 block 6th Ave. S. with critical injuries early Friday morning. Her condition is stable, but police have not been able to interview her. Woods said they had not received medical evidence that would indicate whether the victim had been sexually assaulted, but added he probably couldn’t say if they had.

Lethbridge Search and Rescue assisted police on a ground search Friday. Investigators continue to canvass the area. They are also looking at a couple of videos that they hope will contain clues. Woods once again asked anyone who might have a video security system in the neighbourhood to come forward with footage.

Police also want to speak with anyone who might have seen the victim, so they can determine what she was doing, or who she might have spoken with, prior to being attacked. To help, they provided a description of the victim: Caucasian, 5’3″, 110 lbs. with blonde hair. Police are interested in the hour between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Friday, Sept. 30 and the area along 6th Ave. S. between 13th St. and Mayor Magrath Dr.

And people are encouraged to be vigilant about their personal safety, including staying in well-lit areas, travelling with others, and to not use headphones that would block outside sound.
