In the summer of 2005 a string of violent home invasions targeting the elderly terrorized Baltimore. One of the victims was Carlton Crawford, an 82-year-old disabled man who was beaten and strangled inside his own home after an intruder forced entry on August 21, 2005. His death heightened concern as investigators linked his killing to a pattern of attacks on vulnerable older residents.

Police identified a suspect, Raymont Hopewell, a drifter with a criminal history. Evidence connected Hopewell to Crawford’s murder and to other deaths among elderly Baltimore residents. Hopewell was apprehended, convicted for Crawford’s murder and the other killings, and sentenced to life in prison.

Did anyone in Baltimore at that time have memories or information about the neighborhood activity or suspicious persons that might shed more light on these attacks?
