A press conference was held Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. on the recent attacks in Kensington.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey and Captain James Clark spoke in the lobby of the Police Headquarters.

Commissioner Ramsey urged victims of any form of violence in the area to come forward even if the attacker didn’t resemble the recent police sketch of the suspect.

The FBI has also joined the investigation and is currently analyzing evidence collected at the various crime scenes.

The Philadelphia Police Department is examining data as far back as 10 years for past sex predators.

Since early October, three women have been murdered and six others attacked in the area.

Police have confirmed that the most recent death in the area on Tuesday night is unrelated to the previous incidents.

As for the other incidents, police have only confirmed that two of the attacks are related by DNA.

If you have any information, you’re urged to contact the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251 ext. 3265.
