The Vancouver Police Department released an update Tuesday about an incident that reportedly happened on Feb. 16, 1989. Police said a teen girl was allegedly pulled into a car and sexually assaulted near Main Street and East 16th Avenue on that day.
"We never stop investigating violent crimes," Const. Tania Visintin said in a news release. "In 2017, after receiving new information, we assigned a team of investigators to re-examine this case, and that team managed to identify a suspect."
