There may be a huge break in the hunt for the man suspected of raping an Emory University student.

DeKalb County Police have released photos of vehicles they believe may be connected to that crime and other assaults around the Emory University campus.

According to police, “The first vehicle in question is an older model, dark colored, two door pick-up truck that has a diamond tool box in the rear. Detectives have also identified a second vehicle of interest described as a dark colored Jeep Cherokee which may have been in the area and could possibly assist in their investigation.”

Here are the photos. Take a good look.

DeKalb Police say the victims were young females walking alone near Emory when a suspect approached them and tried to overpower them. The victims fought their attacker off and contacted police. The attack and the description of the suspect match the rape reported by an Emory University student.
