Full Story.

Police have called off a search that locked down a Chandler neighborhood near Warner and Dobson roads this morning after a man that may have matched the description of the Chandler Rapist was discovered in a home with three children just after their father left for work.

The oldest child, a 15-year-old girl, awoke at 6 a.m. to find a man in their home, police spokesman Sgt. Rick Griner said. The man fled when the girl called police. The girl was not sexually assaulted, police said.

Officers arrived within three minutes and set up a perimeter for nearly three hours, swarming the neighborhood with police, a helicopter and K-9 units, but turned up little, Griner said.

A K-9 did get the man’s scent but was unable to follow it. Griner said the man, who is suspected in several attacks, knows the areas he chooses and has an escape route.
