There have been three attacks. We have threads on each. The first occurred in Puyallup, WA on July 30th a little before 5 am and was well covered by the press in that area. FWIW, Bethany's brother lives not too far from Puyallup. The Puyallup attack occurred in a parking lot of an apt. complex when a black man approached a 23 year old woman (her race has not been reported as far as I know) and asked her for water for his car, as he was locked out of his home. She went to her apt. for the water and when she returned to the man, was attacked. She attempted to shoot him with a taser she was carrying but it failed to make contact. She was severely burned on her face and eyes.
Bethany's attack occurred on August 30th in the early evening, a short time after buying sunglasses. I believe that I posted upthread a comment about her feeling a divine calling from God to purchase the glasses for a week. When she received her first paycheck (presumably from the Washougal, WA Safeway), she purchased them in downtown Vancouver, WA. Less than an hour later, after walking in the area, she reached into her car, and was called to by the attacker, described as a "pretty black woman". It's never been made clear what Bethany was doing just prior to the attack.
The third attack occurred in Mesa, AZ on September 2nd, before 5 am. Once again, it occurred near a car. A woman pulled into her carport, exited her car, and was attacked. This attack was by a 20s-30s Hispanic woman. Police have said that the attack was not random, even though the victim did not recognize the attacker. The 911 call and an interview with that victim, Derri Velarde, has just been released and I will post that on the thread.
As far as I know, these are the only three attacks and the dates and details are as reported.
