Reward for Capture of Todt Hill Rapist
The Staten Island Advance recently alerted residents to an attempted rape of a Staten Island woman on Four Corners Road and North Entry Road. What was especially troublesome about this crime was how long it took the police department to notify Staten Island residents. I don't pretend to be a police officer nor do i understand how they investigate crimes but I don't think it should have taken 1 week to notify the public. The police should have immediately sought out the public's help in finding this predator. I also think people should have been warned so that the residents could be better able to protect themselves by changing their behavior and being more alert to what is going on around them.
Since this crime hit so close to home, as I am a local resident and business owner, I have decided to post a $1,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Todt Hill rapist. I encourage residents that have information about this person to call the New York City Police Department's Crime Stoppers Tip line at (800) 577-TIPS. All your information will be kept confidential and you will receive a unique code number that you may use to collect your reward.
I have begun to staple fliers on light poles around my office and distribute them to local businesses. I hope that making the public aware of this crime will help to catch this predator before he strikes again. This criminal must be caught before someone gets hurt or killed as a confrontation could easily escalate from an attempt to something much worse. Please lets all do our part in our community and help to solve this crime.
