Man being sought for approaching camper

CARLISLE -- Pennsylvania State Police are seeking information about a man who made sexual advances toward an 18-year-old Waynesburg woman earlier this month at a campsite on the Appalachian Trail.

Police said the man first approached the woman when he entered her campsite near the Alex Kennedy camping shelter at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 and told her his name was Terry. He left and returned to the campsite at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4 and began making what police said were inappropriate advances toward the woman.

The first day he came to the campsite, he was wearing a brown Carhart jacket and pants, a fluorescent turtleneck shirt and a fluorescent orange ski cap, police said. The next day, he was wearing a flannel shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap with a truck printed on it.

The man is described as stocky, between 40 and 50 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a gray beard and glasses.

Anyone with information may call police at 249-2121.

Most of the murders and rapes that have occured on the AT have happened in PA.
