VANCOUVER, WA (KPTV) -
Vancouver police are asking for help to find a man who raped a woman while posing as a magazine salesman.
Officers say the man attacked the woman at her home near the intersection of Stapleton Road and Fourth Plain Boulevard last Tuesday.
The victim says the man knocked on her door while holding a clipboard. He then pulled out a 12-inch knife and forced his way inside the home.
Police described the man as black, 30 to 35 years old, 6', 180 pounds with a short afro hairstyle. He was unshaven with a slight beard and mustache, and was wearing a red jacket with a hood.
The man also had a thin gold hoop earring on his right ear and a thin vertical scar on the left side of his neck, officers say.
Vancouver police are asking anyone who bought a magazine subscription from a door-to-door salesperson during October to call them at 360-487-7431.
