BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – A principal of a Brown County school says students saw a man matching the description of an attempted child abductor described in De Pere last week.
The principal at Morrison Zion Lutheran School says students described seeing a man hiding in the woods and taking pictures outside the school Tuesday afternoon.
Students say the man matched the description of a suspect wanted by police in De Pere.
Last week, the De Pere Police Department released a composite sketch and description of that man following an attempted child abduction near De Pere High School.
Police also received several calls from people saying they spotted a man with a similar description near Susan Altmayer School in De Pere. He was allegedly photographing children and the school.
Last Wednesday a 14-year-old girl told police she was walking in the 1700 block of Merrill Street when a man tried to get her into his vehicle. She wasn’t hurt and was able to run away.
She described the man as 60 to 65-years-old with white hair, scruffy beard, dirty baseball cap and a raspy voice. He was driving an older model tan/champagne colored single cab open bed truck, with heavy rust around the driver-side wheel wells.
Anyone with information is asked to call the De Pere Police Department at (920) 339-4084.
