Leads from residents haven’t turned up anything promising, authorities say.
The Woodbury Police Department has been pushing state authorities to come back with results of DNA testing related to the late-April sexual assault in the city. Woodbury police have been calling the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to get the results in the hopes that it will further the investigation, but police department officials have been told they might not hear back until August, Cmdr. Jay Alberio said. There’s also the possibility that there won’t be a match in the criminal database, but it would allow police to put out a warrant for a John Doe, he said. Meanwhile, tips called in by Woodbury residents haven’t turned up anything useful, Alberio said. At about 5:30 a.m. on April 22, a 33-year-old woman was raped while jogging at…

Neighbors say they didn’t think such a crime could happen in Woodbury and plan to use the trail around Markgrafs Lake less.
Katie Yates has a friend who would often take early-morning jogs along the trail at Markgrafs Lake in Woodbury. No more. Yates lives just a few blocks from the Woodbury lake, where a 33-year-old woman was raped while she was jogging at about 5:30 a.m. on Saturday. The path has always seemed a little creepy, Yates said, and after the incident over the weekend, she won’t be heading down there any time soon. “It’s scary. It’s a horrible thing that happened to that poor woman,” she said. “You feel safe in Woodbury, but we fall into that trap of thinking we’re always safe.” Woodbury police this week have been following up on potential leads called in by residents. The assailant was a man, but police don’t have a further description. The woman, …

He faces up to 10 years in prison after authorities use DNA evidence to link him to the crime.
Smoking is bad for your health. And for burglars, so is leaving cigarette butts behind at a crime scene. Authorities say DNA evidence from cigarette butts linked a Woodbury man to a 2008 burglary in Lakeland, Minn. Darrick Jerald Vall, 23, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine after he was charged last week with felony burglary in connection with the May 2008 incident. A month after the break-in, the daughter of the homeowner, who helps take care of the home because her parents are in a nursing home, flagged down deputies who were doing extra patrols in the area. She gave them two cigarette butts she found while cleaning the house, which had been ransacked. Several items were stolen and the suspect had attempted to hot wire a …

Praying for the victim and her family. Awful thing to happen. Hope to band together as a neighborhood and watch out for each other. Reminder for me and my family to be careful. We don't need to to live fearfully. But it's good to be on guard, to stay in pairs and look out for each other. Praying they can apprehend the person who did this quickly. more ›
