The Cass County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the attempted abduction of a nine year old girl. Sheriff Robert Sorenson says the girl was walking on a park trail west of the Eagle Public Pool around 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday.
He says as the girl approached the public pool parking area off of Applewood Drive she saw a “smaller vehicle that was brown in color and rusted”. The girl says a man she did not know or recognize asked her if she would come with him to look for his dog. “The man also told her he would take her to get a drink before they looked for his dog. Fortunately, the child recognized the dangerous situation and ran away,” Sorenson says.
The child described the suspect is a white man at least 40-years-old with a bald head and no visible facial hair. “His vehicle may be brown, gold, tan or very dirty. At this time it is unknown when the suspect traveled to and from the area of the incident. It is also unknown what route the suspect vehicle traveled to and from the reported incident.”
Anyone with possible information should contact the Cass County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency phone number 402-296-9370. “We are also asking citizens and businesses in the area who have surveillance cameras to check their video footage between 5:00 PM and 6:45 PM,” Sorenson says. Anyone who has video or pictures that appear to be suspicious or match the description of the suspect and/or suspect vehicle is asked to contact the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
