A recent rape at a southwest Lawrence home may be related to multiple other rapes in the city that have occurred since 2004, police said Monday.

In all five cases, police said the attacker was armed with a weapon, sometimes a gun.
A 19-year-old Kansas University student was attacked by an unidentified male suspect who entered her home with a handgun about 2 a.m. Dec. 1, police said. The next day, more than a dozen Lawrence officers and detectives searched grassy areas along the Kansas Highway 10 bypass and the area of 27th Street and Wakarusa Drive in southwest Lawrence looking for evidence regarding the latest rape.
“We do have strong information to believe that this attack is related to the other four attacks in the city,” said police Sgt. Bill Cory. “We take these crimes very seriously.”
