The Westminster Police Department issued a press release today confirming a Boulder Weekly report: Two attempted abductions at Ketner Lake Open Space, across the street from Jessica Ridgeway's elementary school, may be connected to the 10-year-old's murder.
Here's the release:
Date – October 18, 2012
In an attempt
to uncover any lead that may help identify the individual responsible
for the abduction and subsequent murder of Jessica Ridgeway; authorities
are asking the community to try and remember anything that was
suspicious or out of place near the Ketner Lake Open Space during the
Memorial Day holiday weekend. Due to the time frame and geographic
proximity of Jessica’s disappearance and
the attempted abduction near the Ketner Lake Open Space, police are
trying to determine if there is any connection between the two cases.
The suspect from the attempted abduction at Ketner Lake on May 28, 2012
was described as follows:
• Light skinned male
• 18 – 30’s (or someone who’s appearance with a ball cap may look that age)
• Brown hair
• Medium build
• 5’06” to 5’08” (Height can vary above or below these approximations)
Westminster police and assisting law enforcement agencies have been unable to associate any vehicle in either of these incidents. Several metro area law enforcement jurisdictions are working other cases of attempted abductions and various vehicle or suspect descriptions have been provided. In regards to Westminster’s cases, we only have the above description to provide.
Working with the FBI and the Behavioral Analysis Unit we are asking the public to call us if anyone around you changed their behavior, acted unusual, failed to show up for a family activity or other change that was unusual. We are specifically looking for these behavior changes on October 5, 2012 and days after Jessica’s disappearance and the Memorial Day weekend.
Tips can be given to the Westminster Police Department tip center by calling 303-658-4336 or by sending an email to: PDamberalert@cityofwestminster

Dr. Lector's astute perspective seems like he could be talking about this case.
I've thought about this being the work of a college grad student, perhaps one from a South American country...I doubt they have to provide fingerprints or a DNA sample when they get accepted by a US university, or work as a Teaching or Research Assistant, like collegiate staff would have to. The cops said they've run the DNA they have against domestic & international databases with no hits.
It crosses the mind that the DNA was planted on Jessica, but then if they've got DNA from the 22 yo's attack, they couldn't say it's a match between them. If they're using only the "chemical on the rag is the same" as the basis for linking the 2 incidents, then it'd be possible that any from JR's might be a plant -- but probably not the case since I think they're saying both DNA matches & the chemical used on the rag matches.
I can't get out of my mind that it might be someone from Boulder. Someone going between Arvada to Boulder, dropping the backpack on their way in or out, for example.
JBR's murder was so highly staged, so uniquely, so anti-John Ramsey, that I wouldn't even "go there" to think these are related.
