St. Paul police looking for sexual assault suspect

St. Paul police are trying to find a man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted an 18-year-old woman.

In a statement, police say the woman returned home around 5:30 a.m. June 19 to find the intruder in her home. He then blindfolded and bound the woman, drove her to an unknown location and held her for about 24 hours.

Police say he sexually assaulted the woman and released her the next day around 7 a.m. in her neighborhood.

Investigators say they've not been able to connect the attack with any other area cases. They say suspect information is limited because the victim was blindfolded.

Anyone with information should call St. Paul police at 651-266-5685 or 911.
