Police seek information to solve slaying and 2 rapes

8/5/2006

Toledo police are seeking information through the Crime Stopper program about the man responsible for two rapes and a slaying in 2000.

On April 15, Chrishana Logan, 19, was killed in her apartment at 2471 Robinwood Ave. On Aug. 21, a 17-year-old girl was raped in the rear parking lot at 1210 North Byrne Rd. behind a laundry. On Oct. 3, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped in the 500 block of Bryant Court off Collingwood Boulevard.

DNA evidence indicates that the same suspect committed all three crimes. The man is described as in his 30s, shorter-than-average height, and of above-average weight.

Police said the man also smoked a cigarette at one of the crime scenes.

Police believe Ms. Logan knew the suspect but the two rape victims did not know him.

Anyone with information about the man or the crimes is asked to call the Crime Stoppers program. Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a $10,000 reward.
