A 74-year-old California woman remains at the San Francisco General Hospital almost two weeks after a stranger dragged her into his home and raped her.
FOX 2 reports that according to police, the victim was walking to a friend’s home when suspect, 47-year-old Manuel Amador, abducted her near McLaren Park in San Francisco at around 8 a.m. The victim attempted to fight her attacker off, but her overpowered her and pulled her down his driveway. In the process, a pit bull belonging to the suspect’s roommate bit the elderly woman on her ankle, foot, and left hip.
The suspect dragged the victim in his room, where he strangled and sexually assaulted her numerous times. Afterward, he dressed her and dropped her off where he found her, but she didn’t have her keys, shoes, or cellphone with her. A neighbor saw the woman and called police.
