Pretty amazing they can’t bring themselves to narrow down the list to hispanic so they would have a better chance of finding the bad guys.... oops did I just make a hate speech? /sarc
A co-worker lives outside of downtown Leesburg just off Rt. 7 in one of the neighborhood’s heading out towards Purcellville. Our friend’s daughter was returning home Saturday night and passed a man walking down the street of their neighborhood. They started up their driveway (which is long) and met her parents who were leaving for the night to go to a wedding. After a little discussion, the parents left (passing the man walking); the daughter and her friend went into the house. The man then went to the door of their house and began ringing the doorbell. The girls did not approach the door or any windows, so the man went around the house trying to find a way in ringing any doorbell he could find along the way - of course scaring the girls to death. The daughter called her older brother, who was also in the neighborhood - thank God. As he drove up the driveway the man fled and was seen by the brother getting into a white cargo-van. The brother and his friends followed the van and got the license plate info - they were FL tags.
The parents called the sheriff’s office and gave the info to the police. They believe this incident and the people involved may be linked to the mother-daughter murders that occurred last week in MD. They also believe they may be linked to the beating of the couple that occurred yesterday morning (5am) in Landsdowne.
I just wanted to give everybody a heads up on something that happened in our neighborhood March,21, that may be connected to the murder in Lansdowne.
Around 6:30 to 7:00 pm an unknown person was seen at one of our neighbors house trying to gain access, luckily someone was home and were able to call for help, the person was aided by 2 other people that were waiting in a vehicle, my son and one of our neighbors caught up to them before they left the neighborhood and got their tag number, the police were called and a police report was filed.
The details of the vehicle were:
White Ford E250 Van with Florida plates, plate # J65 ZYX
The description of both the vehicle and the person were similar to the report that was filed at the scene of the murder-beating. Photo fit composites are being put together from our neighbor and possibly my son who also had a good look at them.
In general the description of the person who was walking around our neighborhood was:
Approx 5’7”-5’8” in height, white complexion, medium brown color hair and wearing a Blue colored hoodie, he also had a full very short beard, Blue Jeans and white sneakers and had a distinctive slow walk.
The boys did not get a good look at the other 2 people in the van.
