On July 16, 2010 around the same time at night, a 26-year-old female reported a physical assault under similar circumstances at 8000 Cresco Ave, involving a similarly described suspect and vehicle.
And on May 15, 2012, a 27-year-old female came forward to report an assault that occurred back in Aug. 2010. She, too, had accepted a ride from Disson St & Torresdale Ave by a male operating a white pickup, and she was also assaulted near 8000 Cresco Ave. The man identified himself as "Rob" or "Bob" and may also operate a newer model dark blue minivan with an Eagles sticker in the rear window.
