Overview
- Police say an unknown man approached from behind near Forsyth Park around 8 p.m. Wednesday and poured a corrosive liquid on Ashley Wasielewski.
- Wasielewski, 46, is at the Augusta Burn Center with second- and third-degree burns over roughly half her body and is expected to need skin grafts and long-term care.
- FBI and ATF specialists are assisting Savannah police to identify the chemical, which family says was strong enough to melt her clothing and car key fob.
- Detectives released surveillance images of a man in a dark hoodie with a cartoon rabbit as a person of interest who has not been named a suspect.
- Officers have increased patrols in parks, no arrests have been announced, and the public is urged to share tips, photos, or videos with CrimeStoppers or through the SPD app.
