Above are the sketches of the suspect as depicted by each of the victims.

The frightening tale continues as another victim of lasts weeks’ kidnapping attempts comes forward. The third boy told his parents someone tried to kidnap him after he heard about two similar incidents. The 12-year-old told detectives with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department that a man approached him Tuesday afternoon near Dawes Street and Folsom Boulevard- the same general location as the other attempts. Again the suspect claimed he needed help finding his lost dog.

The boy ran away and escaped without harm, the sheriff’s department said.

The description the third boy gave of the suspect matched the description of a would-be kidnapper described by two 11-year-old boys the day before. The suspect is an Hispanic man in his 30s, unshaven, with black hair and a goatee and a mole on the left side of his face. The man was seen wearing a black baseball hat and a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Both 11-year-olds said the man drove a mid-sized four-door sedan that was either black or dark green.
