Editor’s Note: The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office held a press conference on Wednesday, July 28th at the Sheriff’s Office in Pinedale to give an update on the status of the assault on a 20-year old Pinedale woman on the morning of July 24, 2010. Sublette County Attorney’s Office special investigator Randy Hanson said, "Everyone is a suspect." He added that at this time there are no indications of a sexual assault. They clarified that the two other incidents they are also looking into happened in the weeks prior to this latest incident, and not on the same night. The Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help with any tips or information on this case. They stressed that people call in with information that might seem insignificant and report anything that happened over the past several months which seemed out of the ordinary, because it might be helpful in this case. The department would like citizens to report incidents such as seeing someone walk between yards where they don’t belong after dark. They advised citizens to be watchful and secure their premises (lock vehicles and doors & windows in buildings). They also do not want people to try to take matters into their own hands if they see something suspicious, which might put themselves in danger. The Sheriff’s Office wants people to call in right away and report anything out of the ordinary, and for citizens to keep themselves out of harm’s way and let law enforcement respond to any incidents. Below is the press release from the press conference.
