GREENVILLE - The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday a kidnapping they started investigating Tuesday, concerning a 15-year old girl in Taylors didn't actually occur, as it was orginially reported by the victim.
Investigators are now saying the incident does not appear to be a random "stranger on stranger" incident. They say the exact nature of this reported assault is still under investigation.
Deputies orginially said the attempt was reported Monday morning as the girl was walking home from Wade Hampton High School on East Belvue Road near the intersection with Weehawken Circle. The victim then told investigators she was sick and left school on foot on advice from her mother around 9:30am. The victim said the suspect drove alongside her in a red Volvo, opened the door and tried to pull her into the vehicle according to the incident report.
She told GCSO she was able to break free and run home to call for help. An incident report says she suffered a scratch on her right cheek, bruising to her left arm and scratches on her upper chest she says she received while trying to break free of the man who grabbed her. The victim said the suspect left in his car and drove in the direction of Rutherford Road.
Wednesday, the GCSO still said they were seeking a 20-30 year old Hispanic male, with a medium build and a thin mustache.
Investigators said he was driving an older moldel "boxy" sedan, (possibly a Volvo) in connection with this incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
