But the brazen assailant remains on the loose.
Hamilton Police say the victim was walking in the area of Upper Paradise and Donnici Dr. when she was approached by “an unknown male” and “dragged off the trail” around 9:30 a.m. on July 13, 2022.
“The male proceeded to assault her, but was interrupted by witnesses walking by the area,” police said in a statement that was re-released on Thursday.
It’s believed the man ran off southbound towards Upper Paradise.
Just days after the daylight attack, investigators released images and video of a suspect captured by a security camera in the area of Edgehill Dr. – hoping someone would recognize the man.
But the suspect’s identity remains a mystery, so police have re-released those images and video – once again hoping members of the public know the man and come forward.
“Despite following numerous tips and leads, investigators have not yet been able to identify or locate this individual,” police said. “We are asking the public once again to be vigilant and report any sightings or information related to this suspect.”
