Exotic dancer reports rape
[crime log: Herald - Sun, Oct 9, 2006 : 10:46 pm ET ]
Durham police are investigating the alleged rape Saturday of an exotic dancer.
Warrants say a woman told police she was returning home from her job when two females jumped and robbed her while a man the victim knew by his nickname pointed a gun at her.
The victim also said the man with the gun agreed later to help her get her money back and escorted her to a Sandy Creek Drive residence, according to warrants.
Inside the house, the victim was raped, she told police. When she finally escaped, she ran to neighbors' houses and "banged on doors" asking someone to call 911, according to warrants.
The search warrant for the Sandy Creek Drive address yielded no apparent DNA evidence but did result in the seizure of two computers, two scanners, several digital cameras and more than 1,000 DVDs, according to warrants.
Hit-and-run car's owner sought
Police are asking for help in locating the owner of the 1988 Honda Accord that struck 22-year-old Caitlin Donnelly as she crossed South LaSalle Street at 11:53 p.m. Sept. 29.
Donnelly suffered severe head injuries and was taken to Duke University Hospital in critical condition.
A sheriff's deputy discovered the car, which is registered to Juan Carlos Lopez Barrera, several days later in the parking lot of a LaSalle Street apartment building.
Cpl. David Addison said Barrera may have information crucial to the investigation and is asking anyone with any knowledge of the incident or Barrera's whereabouts to contact Investigator M. Goodwin at 560-4314 or 475-2457.
Donnelly is listed in serious condition at Duke University Medical Center.

Feinstein is a good sports writer, I would not go as far as one of the finest of his generation.
For one thing his writing as in this case is colored by his leftist world view. He also has other biases.
He is pretty good when covering the Partiot League or Army-Navy football. But you have to remember he leftist, really maybe just Dim, biased in every thing you read from him.
