Sheriff: Molino Home Invasion Investigation Is Continuing
December 18, 2009
Escambia County’s top cop says his department is still looking into the case of two reported Molino home invasion attacks on cheerleaders.
“It an ongoing investigation,” Sheriff David Morgan told NorthEscambia.com. “We are still pursuing any and all leads.” He said his investigative team is keeping him updated on the progress of the case, but Morgan said he was unable to indicate a time frame for a possible resolution to the case.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Department investigators have returned to Molino several times since the incidents, questioning some of those involved with the two cases, Sgt. Ted Roy said recently.
A 13-year old Ernest Ward Middle School cheerleader reported that she was attacked by a knife-wielding intruder while she was home alone the night of October 31 at her home in the 7000 block of Highway 95A. The girl told deputies that a man entered the home through a window (pictured left), and one tried to attack her with a knife. The middle school student was cut multiple times on her hands in an apparent attempt to fight off her attacker as she was pinned on a bed, but she was not otherwise injured. Her injuries were not considered serious.
A 16-year old told investigators that a tall, slender white male had entered her home on Nancy Lane through a utility room window the morning of November 3. She told authorities that she fought back — throwing drinking glasses at her attacker and dousing him with pepper spray. She then fled the home, running to nearby Highland Baptist Church for help. She described her attacker as wearing a black ski mask, a long black shirt and black pants.

Do they have a person of interest. The sheriff could at least make a statement one way or the other.
