I started this thread because there have been at least 3 attacks on and/or attempted abductions of women/girls recently in & around the LSU area between the end of November 2013 and present (Feb. 2014).
The February 20, 2014 attack was an attempted abduction on the LSU campus. A female student was walking to her car after class. She was in a parking lot near Patrick F. Taylor Hall (the new name of the old CEBA building, for any LSU grads out there) on Nicholson Extension. It was around 7:30pm.

On Nov. 22, 2013, a 30 year old woman was running around the LSU lakes (a VERY popular place to run, surrounded by million-dollar-plus homes) a little after 5pm (it did get dark early, but it was by no means late at night). Around the 2500 block of E. Lakeshore Dr., a man came up behind her, put her in a choke hold, and she lost consciousness. When she came to, he was on top of her punching her in the stomach and chest. She screamed and the man got up and ran.

A few days before this attack on the runner at the lakes, an 11 year-old girl in the Garden District escaped being abducted. The Garden District is right next to the LSU lakes area, and it's a popular neighborhood for LSU students and professors to live, many of whom walk or cycle to campus & cycle, run, & walk in the area for exercise. The attempted kidnapping occurred in the 2600 block of Terrace Avenue near S. Eugene (this is also near the all-girls high school St. Joseph's Academy).

Needless to say, there's someone (or someones) up to no good in the area.

She was walking back to her car when a man who had been sitting in a black box van stepped out and tried to grab her. The girl told police she broke free and went to authorities, but the suspect got away. Police added the suspect is described as a 6'1" black man with a receding hairline and shaved cuts in his eyebrows. The van driven by the suspect was described as a black older model box van with tinted windows and side double doors

The girl was walking near the intersection of Terrace Avenue and South Eugene Street around 5:40 p.m. when a white, 4-door car with black trim passed her several times before parking in front of a house on Terrace Avenue, said the spokesman, Cpl. L’Jean McKneely.
The man got out of the car and chased the girl, McKneely said. The girl ran, screaming for help and managed to elude the man and get home safely, McKneely said. The girl described the man as black with a medium complexion, wearing a white T-shirt, dark jeans and black shoes.
