Over the last three years female students at Mount Union College in Alliance have been reporting robberies. These were not your usual robberies. “The thief has been stealing women’s underwear, diaries, photos and lotions,” says Alliance police Sgt. D.W. Bair.
On Wednesday they think they found their man, and when they raided the home of 25-year-old Thomas Williams, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
“It was unlike anything I have ever seen,” Bair said.
They seized over 250 pairs of women’s underwear, dozens of stolen photos, diaries, lotions and film.
“According to a retired FBI profiler, this was his fetish, his fantasy,” Bair said.
There is no evidence that he assaulted any of these women, believed to total 20 victims in all. But, police were alarmed at what they found in a travel bag.
“We found a rope, duct tape and handcuffs. And nearby, we found a stolen handgun. These items have a specific purpose — we don’t know exactly what that purpose is, but you can draw your own conclusion,” Bair said.
