May 10, 2020 – Village of Richfield, WI – Washington County Sheriff’s officials continue to actively pursue leads into the attempted child enticement that occurred on May 8 in the Village of Richfield. We had requested the public’s assistance in locating a brown van that had been seen in the neighborhood several days prior to the incident.
On Sunday evening we received a tip from a citizen who saw the van in question in the City of Hartford. As a result, we were able to locate and identify the owner.
The owner of the van is cooperating fully with the investigation and is not believed to be involved in the attempted child enticement. We would like to thank the public for their response and want to reiterate we are no longer looking for the brown van that we had released surveillance footage of.
We are still actively looking for the suspect. The suspect vehicle is possibly an older model full-size or larger boxy style minivan, brown/tan van that was observed parked facing south on Scenic Drive prior to the incident. The suspect is described as a male white, pale skin, average height, slightly overweight, wearing long tan shorts, and brown crocs. He also had what the victim described as a raspy voice.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at (262) 335-4378 or send an email to tim.kemps@co.washington.wi.us
