For the first time in the Jessica Ridgeway murder case, investigators released the description of man who used a chemical-soaked rag in an unsuccessful attempt to abduct a 22-year-old woman near Ketner Lake on May 28.
Police stressed in their announcement Thursday that they are linking the two cases in "an attempt to uncover any lead" in Jessica Ridgeway's Oct. 5 abduction and subsequent slaying and dismemberment.
"Police are trying to determine if there is any connection between the two cases," authorities said in a bulletin to media.
Ketner Lake Open Space is about a half-mile from Jessica's home and just south of Witt Elementary School, where she was headed that Friday morning, though she never made it.
On May 28, the young woman said she was grabbed by a man described as white or light-skinned and between 18 and 30 years old, with brown hair and a medium build. He was about 5 feet 8 inches tall.
The woman had initially jogged past the man, police said, then he grabbed her from behind "trying to put a rag over her mouth. She said the rag had a chemical smell on it. She was able to get away and called 911 from her cellphone."
Law enforcement has no description of a vehicle related to that case, police said.
Police have said they had no information connecting Jessica's case to any previous metro-area abduction cases.
Westminster police also are looking at other attempted abductions in metro Denver to see whether those suspects could have been involved in Jessica's kidnapping Oct. 5 , followed by the discovery of her body 11 miles away in an Arvada open space Oct. 9.
"Several metro-area law enforcement jurisdictions are working other cases of attempted abductions, and various vehicle or suspect descriptions have been provided," Westminster police stated Thursday.
Investigators are asking the public to call if they know of someone whose behavior has been unusual, including failing to show up at family activities or abrupt changes in appearances or habits around Memorial Day or Oct. 5.
Anyone with information can contact Westminster police at 303-658-4336 or PDamberalert@cityofwestminster.us.
