Officers responded to that address at 5:30 a.m., and quickly determined the attack was likely related. The victim was a woman in her 60s who was home alone, and police said statements and actions made by the attacker are consistent with previous attacks. It's the seventh time the man has attacked an older woman, police said.

However, the victim described the suspect as a light-skinned black male, who was about 5-feet, 8-inches tall. She reported the man as having a thin build and muscular arms, with no facial hair. His face was partially covered, also consistent with the previous attacks.

This description is more consistent with the first six attacks reported to police, where the attacker was described as either being a light-skinned black male, or Hispanic. Following the seventh attack, reported to police on Friday morning, the suspect's description was changed to a white male in his 40s, and police issued a sketch they said might highlight some of the attacker's features.

Police have stressed throughout the investigation that descriptions made by the victims may or may not be accurate, saying it's common for people traumatized by such attacks to not remember details perfect. A media release sent by TPD on Sunday afternoon listed the attack as the "8th incident," implying they still believe all eight attacks were by the same man.
