Police seek help

The Seattle Police Department is seeking the public's help in identifying a man who stole a woman's vehicle while she was visiting the Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery on Sept. 9.

The white male is in his mid-20s, with a thin build, brown hair and a pale complexion (photo at right).

Around 6 p.m., the man approached the woman, who was visiting her father's grave with her 9-year-old daughter, and asked to use her cellular phone. When she refused, he walked away. But he returned, carrying a large knife.

He then asked the woman, "Do you want your daughter or your car?" The woman gave the suspect her car keys, while her daughter pleaded for him to spare her mother's life.

The suspect then drove away in the woman's Honda Pilot, which was recovered two days later in the 11700 block of Third Avenue Northwest.

Anyone with information about the suspect's identity is asked to call the Seattle Police Robbery Unit, at 684-5537.
