Police sketch of abduction suspect from Cook County Sheriff’s Police.
MAINE TOWNSHIP, IL – Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart is seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who grabbed a girl and tried to drag her into a wooded area in Maine Township on Wednesday.
The 12-year-old girl fought back, bit the hand of the offender – who covered her mouth with his hands– and escaped.
A search of the area south of the 9600 block of Golf Road was conducted. A helicopter and K-9 units were also used in this search. White headphones the offender was reportedly wearing were found, but the man was not located.
He is described as a white, 20 to 30 years-old, approximately 5’8”- 5’10” tall, and approximately 170 to 190 pounds. He wore an orange and brown hooded sweatshirt and black and white pants.
