THE SUBURBS..kids walking to or from school. One actually got the victim on the ground, (a young teen) who fought back and got away.

I'm pinging ucansee2 cuz he lives in the area too..., so does quite a few missouri freepers.. Crime stats for cities aren't accurate..it depends on if the stats were under or over reported by LE, and it depends on the type of crime...that is being reported. The city I am referring to is Kansas City Missouri. What major city did you work in? There are neighborhoods that range from extreme poor to extreme rich..2 weeks ago, in a VERY affluent neighborhood, a lifeguard (ucansee, wasn't she 18yrs old?) was raped and killed in the filter/pump room at the pool.
