Didn't I see some dingdong on here a couple of days ago saying there was another Rap (Rape but he spelled it Rap) in Seagrove and no one believed him because there did not seem to be any reports out? Well, I found this on the NWFDN site today:
UPDATE: Investigators work to identify suspect in sexual assault in Seagrove
July 21, 2011 2:38 PM
SEAGROVE BEACH — Investigators are trying to identify a suspect in a sexual assault on Tuesday.
A 27-year-old woman reported that an unidentified male broke into her home about 3 a.m. and sexually assaulted her, said Michael Morrison, spokesperson for the Walton County Sheriff's Office.
The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment and to collect evidence, Morrison said.
"Investigators are continuing to work with the victim to gather information, collect forensic evidence and determine who may be responsible for the crime," he said.
The Sheriff's Office did not release the exact location of the incident in order to protect the identity of the woman.
Walton County Sheriff's deputies are continuing to collect evidence in the murder of a teenage girl in the same area last month.
Seagrove resident Steven Cozzie has been arrested and is awaiting trial on murder charges in the death of Courtney Wilkes, who was vacationing in the area with her family from Lyons, Ga. She was found strangled and sexually assaulted in the woods off Robert Ellis Street.
"Seagrove is generally a safe place," Morrison said. "Unfortunately we had a tragedy near this incident a few weeks ago. These incidents are unrelated and purely coincidental."
On August 30, 2010, a similar crime occurred at the Villas at Seagrove Beach on County Road 30A. A woman in her 50s from Louisiana was sexually assaulted after a man entered her room during the night. A description of a suspect was obtained, but no arrests were made in the case.
Morrison said the case is still open and that it is unrelated to the assault on Tuesday.
Anyone with information can contact the Sheriff's Office at 850-892-8186.
Check back for updates.
