How brazen and sick can some people truly be? The facts that sex crimes occur is bad enough. That fact that they are prepared on children is even worse. But for a rape to occur to an eight year old in broad day light is truly repulsive and heinous. How sick and dangerous an individual is on the loose that would do such a thing.
Have you seen this man in the St. Petersburg, FL area?
Police say the suspect is described:
-
an Asian male between 17 and 21-years-old
-
He’s 5’6″ and 125-pounds.
-
Officers say the suspect may be a transient
An 8-year-old girl was raped on the side of a residential street in full daylight less than half a block from her apartment, police said.
The girl was leaving a park at about 12:55 p.m. with her 7-year-old brother when a man grabbed her from behind, pulled her to the ground and raped her, police said. Their mother had left them alone for a few minutes to return home and turn off the kitchen stove.

Luckily people near by who witnessed and heard the attack and called 911 and ran to the scene causing this rapists to run off. Neighbor Aaron Chambiss was playing basketball and ran to the scene and chased the attacker down the street. The incomprehensible actions of the sick individual are beyond belief in that he committed this crime in broad daylight, out in the open and with people running toward him.
When he ran to the park. he couldn’t believe what he saw.
Aaron chased the suspect down the block but he got away, “He seemed to be high on something because he saw me and attempted to run the first time but then he jumped back on the little girl.”
Parents like Aaron are worried, “It’s a sick individual, broad daylight in front of a park. Residential neighborhood, lots of kids around here, we don’t need any sexual predators in our neighborhood.”
Aaron says it made him sick to see what happened, “She was begging and pleading for him to stop and it touched my heart. I got kids of my own.”

UPDATE: According to Tampa Bays 10 a suspect has been arrested in the

We hear and read about the Nigerian money scams all the time on the internet. We get emails from long lost friends and relatives in Nigeria promising us fortunes if we would just help them. I did not even realize I had family living in Nigeria. The fact that this scam is so widely known just makes it all the more amazing that it involved Mary Winkler and the eventual killing of her husband Matthew Winkler. I just never knew people could still fall for this. It is a sad event where “Nigerian scam” not only caused financial hardship, but also death.
Mary Winkler, who is charged with murder, had gotten tangled up along with her husband in a swindle known as an advance-fee fraud, or the “Nigerian scam,” in which victims are told that a sweepstakes prize or some other riches are waiting for them if they send in money to cover the processing expenses, her lawyers say.
“They were always kind of living on the edge of their budget,” defense attorney Steve Farese said, “so I’m sure this would have just wrecked their budget.”
The financial problems gave rise to arguments between the couple that wound up in Matthew Winkler shot to death, Mary Winkler charged with his murder and their children without parent. Who said that the Nigerian scam only affect people monetarily.
“He had really been on me lately, criticizing me for things – the way I walk, what I eat, everything. It was just building up to a point. I was tired of it. I guess I got to a point and snapped.”
Advance-fee scams became associated with Nigeria in the 1980s when government corruption and a failing economy left many well-educated, English-speaking Nigerians unemployed. “But we see it from all over the world,” said John Kane, research manager for the National White Collar Crime Center.

-
She has blond hair with green streaks in the back

Sevkija Ferhatovic was questioned and released by the police in her disappearance. 
He may be re-questioned, there is no evidence that Sevkija Ferhatovic was involved in her disappearance; however, he has been charged in the past of sexual abuse but was found not guilty.

Jennifer Hagel-Smith lashed out this week as the misguided anger that the family of missing honeymooner, George Smith. George Smith’s family has many questions of Jennifer, namely what is she hiding by settling with Royal Caribbean so soon.
“The quick settlement is concerning,” said Bree Smith, in an exclusive interview with the Green-wich Citizen. “We feel comfortable in saying that in our opinion, she is hiding something.” Added Rivkind
Bree Smith, George Smith’s sister, found many of Jennifer Hagel-Smith’s actions and comments rather strange.
“Jennifer said several times in our house, before we cut off contact with her last October, that she did not want to be deposed in a civil or criminal suit,” Bree Smith said.
“I thought that was a strange statement to make. Why wouldn’t she want to testify, to help bring to justice the people who murdered my brother? It is suspicious, in my opinion.”
The circumstances in how George Smith disappeared is bizarre. We all now the many actions of those involved that are less than normal behavior that one would do aboard a cruise ship, let alone the actions that the cruise line took following the disappearance. What we find most disappointing and strange is Jeniffer Hagel-Smith’s 180 degree turn in dealing with the Royal Caribbean and her statements .
In Hagel-Smith’s press release, she also praised “the cruise line president and leaders who heard our voices and began this civilized, informative, and productive dialogue.”
This marked a sharp contrast to Hagel-Smith’s previous claims that she had been “thrown off” the Brilliance of the Seas after George Smith disappeared, and left to fend for herself in Turkey without financial resources or assistance.

Police have located the mini van of Tammy Gardner and two victims were found inside murdered. They had mysteriously disappeared from a bar where Gardner reportedly had words with an unidentified ex-boyfriend.
Police in Delaware had been searching for the minivan for days. They hoped it would lead them to a missing man and woman. Apparently, it has.
The vehicle, a 2000 Ford Windstar, was found on a remote path near a man-made hill at a park that is under construction.
That’s when police converged on the scene, but investigators don’t know how long the vehicle had been there or what happened to the man and woman inside.
An autopsy will confirm the identities, but police know the van belongs to 40-year-old Tammy Gardner, who has been missing since last Sunday, along with her companion 41-year-old Gabe Gabrielli.
Both mysteriously disappeared after being last seen at a bar where Gardner reportedly had words with an unidentified ex-boyfriend.
