Police: Developments in Valley View Sexual Assault Case

Fairfax County police are making progress in the case of a 62-year-old woman sexually assaulted, according to a lieutenant.

At the Franconia District Citizens Advisory Committee meeting Wednesday night, Lieutenant Mark Hopson told the audience that there were developments in the case, although he declined to elaborate. 

On April 12, near Waterlily Court and Valley View Drive, then fled. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital.

The suspect was  described as having a tan complexion and a medium build. He was wearing a brown polo-style shirt and black pants. His face was covered.

Hopson also discussed the murders of Marion Marshall and Marion Newman, two unsolved homicides in Springfield in 2006. Although there have been no developments in the case, Hopson said they are still brought up at police roll calls.
