POSTED: 9:12 a.m. EDT July 22, 2003

Glynn County police Tuesday released a drawing of the suspect in the kidnapping and robbery of a real estate agent last week.Glynn realtor assault suspect

Police said a 45-year-old woman was tied up by a man met at a house for sale in western Glynn county last Thursday morning.

"He said to me, 'This is a robbery. I'm not here to buy this house,'" Bene Lance told Channel 4 last week.

Then Lance said the suspect grabbed her, threw her against the wall, then tied her wrists and ankles and left her in the bathroom.

The suspect then took Lance's car keys, purse, and wedding ring before leaving.

After waiting and hearing no noise coming from the house, Lance said she used her tongue to dial the phone and call for help.

The suspect is described as a large, white man with brown hair and a mustache and goatee. He is reported between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighing more than 300 pounds.

Glynn County police Lt. McDonald advises that he could be wearing glasses and a ball cap.

Police say the man could be driving one of two suspect vehicles:
  • A green, compact car -- possibly a Ford Escort -- with a Florida license plate.
  • A full-size Chevrolet extended-cab pickup truck, gold or pewter in color, with gray primer spots.

Police say this was not an isolated incident -- a man matching the description is a suspect in similar attacks around north Florida and south Georgia. They are notifying surrounding law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for the suspect.

Anyone with information on this case or seeing a suspect matching the description is asked to call the Glynn County Police Department at 912-554-7800 or Silent Witness at 912- 264-1333.
