The Philadelphia Police Department Special Victims Unit is attempting to identify the male suspect depicted in this video compilation. He is believed to frequent the Manyunk section of Philadelphia.
On January 1, 2026, at approximately 1:30am, the victim, a 20-year-old-female, and a witness were walking near Cresson Street and Grape Street when they observed an unknown white male following closely behind them. They did not interact with the male, but they became uncomfortable with him walking near them, and went quickly into their residence. Several minutes later the victim fell asleep on the living room sofa and was later awoken at approximately 1:55am by an unknown male standing over her indecently exposing himself. When the victim yelled for him to leave the residence, the suspect left. After the suspect left the residence, the victim saw that her purse had been moved and the contents had been dumped onto the floor. At this time the only thing that appears to be missing is $20.00 that was inside the purse. The victim believes that the person that was inside her residence was the same person that was following her earlier in the evening. The witness was upstairs on the second floor during the incident and had no interaction with the offender.
