Fairfax County police have discovered a lot of evidence at crime scenes over the years, but a hockey puck?
In a struggle with a sleeping woman in the predawn darkness Sunday morning in Merrifield, a suspected rapist dropped a hockey puck from a junior league team in Wichita Falls, Tex. The woman successfully fought off her attacker, and he fled without his warm-up jacket -- and the puck.
Her description of the man matched those given by three other women in the neighborhood who were attacked around the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro station in the past five weeks.
"It's the first time I'm aware of that a hockey puck has ever been left at a crime scene" in Fairfax, said Officer Bud Walker, a police spokesman. He declined to say whether police had obtained DNA from the items.
