Shawano County authorities Tuesday released a sketch of a suspect believed to be connected to an attempted abduction of a 14-year-old girl in the town of Birnamwood last month.
The Shawano County Sheriff’s Department received a report just after 1 p.m. Aug. 27 that a girl was walking along a road between cornfields when a male subject attempted to grab her. The girl was able to break free and went to a nearby home, where authorities were called.
The male was described as being in his mid to late teens, Caucasian, and approximately 6 feet, 2 inches tall, wearing a black sweatshirt or long sleeve T-shirt, blue jeans with holes and white tennis shoes.
The day after the incident, the Sheriff’s Department said there had been a person of interest identified and that officers were trying to locate that person.
Detective Troy Ugoretz said Tuesday the investigation is continuing and there was no new information regarding the suspect to accompany the sketch, which is a composite and not an exact likeness.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department at 715-526-3111.
