Skylar had been playing outside her parents apartment in suburban Souderton Monday when she disappeared. But when the man grabbed her in the sex-fuelled attack, cops say she put up a heroic struggle that may ultimately send her killer to his death.
Police chief James P. O'Leary told Fox 29:
"Unfortunately this was a terribly violent crime, but with violent crimes comes a tremendous amount of physical evidence. There's no doubt the evidence will link the suspect, who is the perpetrator ... the perpetrator and the victim to the crime."
Witnesses last saw Skylar playing in a parking lot at about 5 p.m. local time, and that her parents called the police when she failed to return home for dinner.
O' Leary added: "There are indications that she struggled and I really, really am so saddened by her death, but I hope that in that struggle that there was an exchange of evidence so we can link him even more completely to the crime."
Sources say Skylar and the suspect were involved in an incident two weeks ago when she ran sobbing and screaming away from his apartment. Cops have confirmed but would not provide any further details.
