The rapist broke into a townhouse on Bramble Court in Bel Air in April of 2006 attacking his victim and leaving the rest of the women in the neighborhood in fear.
"I'm really sad for her,” said a neighbor, Leslie Bravo, a day after the attack, “and I'm really angry anybody has to live in fear like this... myself included."
Armed with a somewhat vague description of the suspect, Maryland State Police searched for clues to his identity, but the case grew cold.
More than two years later, when the victim called a former neighbor who owned a tree-trimming business, it triggered a horrifying thought---that his business partner, Glenn Raynor, who had previously owned the victim’s townhouse, may have been the man who raped her.
"Is there a chance they got the wrong guy?"
"I don't know. I really can't say,” said Raynor’s former partner, Bruce Arthur, “The evidence is there."
Maryland State Police at the Bel Air Barrack asked Raynor to come in for questioning and he did so, voluntarily, but when they tried to get a DNA sample, he got up and walked out.
Troopers used cotton swabs on the chair he had been sitting in to obtain a DNA sample from his sweat, which allegedly matched DNA found in blood and other fluids at the crime scene.
Raynor’s attorneys argued unsuccessfully that it had violated his rights.
"It's terrible,” said Arthur, “It has torn our family apart and messed up a lot of people."
Raynor has been married for more than 15 years and has two children, but one thing the victim did notice before she was blindfolded was that her attacker was wearing a wedding ring.
