Eugene Police Violent Crimes detectives are investigating the rape of a woman on the Wild Iris Ridge Trail Aug. 27 at about 7 p.m. The trailhead is near Bailey Hill Road and Bertelsen Road.

If you were in the area between 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. and might have seen potential suspects, please call Detective Anne McIntyre at (541) 953-9323.

Around 7 p.m., a woman in her 30s was on the trail when she encountered a man she did not know and who subsequently raped her. The woman was able to get to safety and report this after the attack.

The suspect is a male on a bike, in his 30s, with brown hair, clean-shaven face, wearing darker clothes, jogger pants, and a dark hoodie.

EPD’s Community Engagement Team will be out on the path Aug. 28 to patrol and add to routine checks of the area.
