12:19 AM: Several passes over WSB HQ so far, in fact. Don’t yet know why.

12:29 AM: The chopper has finally moved on. Still a mystery!

12:34 AM: And now they’ve tweeted:

Over Lincoln Park helping patrol look for a sexual assault suspect

11:02 AM UPDATE: Checked with Seattle Police, who say they have NO reports of any attack in the park or anywhere in the area, nor any other incident that would have brought the helicopter. It assists many law-enforcement agencies but is operated by King County Sheriff’s Office, which in turn is now checking to see what the call was about.

Just going to report the same thing – been at least 15 minutes.

12:20am, and the helicopter has been passing over Fauntlee Hills (Barton & 40th) for several minutes.

Really creepy. I hope any victim is safe and secure. I hope the perpetrator is found – prosecuted – and put in prison for an exceptionally long time.

We’ve been having a man/men exposing him or themselves to children, The attempted luring of children in West Seattle, and now this.

We need automatic life sentences for sexual offenses.

I live one block from GreenGirl and didn’t hear a thing! I hope they found the suspect and the victim is okay.

Sorry, comment time is over.
