Georgia: Christian Woman Burned in Chemical Attack
Georgia: Christian Woman Burned in Chemical Attack
The News
A Georgia woman suffered severe burns to her face and body after being doused with a toxic chemical in a random attack while she was strolling through a park — and her sadistic assailant is still on the loose.
She let out a blood-curdling scream as the chemical burned her skin, ate through her clothing, and melted her car’s key fob in her pocket.
Wasielewski was rushed to the Augusta Burn Center, where she’s being treated for second- and third-degree burns over half her body, including her face, scalp, hands and legs, according to her son Westley.
The concerned son said he learned of the attack from a good Samaritan who came to his mother’s aid, adding that he could hear her wailing in agony over the phone.
Timeline
Ashley Wasielewski, 46, was walking laps around Forsyth Park in Savannah Wednesday night after attending a Christmas program at a nearby church when a stranger approached her from behind and poured the corrosive liquid over her head, according to her devastated friends and family.
Reactions
“She was instantly like, ‘Why are you pouring water on me?’ And then her skin started to burn,” said her close friend Connor Milam, who described Wasielewski as a giving person who often volunteered in her community and provided essential items to the homeless.
“She looked down and her pants were starting to burn off her body. She started screaming. They didn’t rob her. They didn’t take anything from her. This was a random person in the park who went out of their way to disfigure another human being.”
“We don’t know who did it,” Westley said.
“She doesn’t have any enemies. She is a friend to everyone.”
“Our Police Department is treating this case with the highest urgency,” Savannah Mayor Van Johnson said in a Facebook post Thursday.
What's Next
No arrests have been made as local police work with the FBI to identify the chemical used in the savage attack and hunt down the vicious assailant. Extra patrols have also been stationed at city parks.
Authorities are searching for a person of interest who was last seen in surveillance footage sporting blue jeans and a dark hooded sweatshirt with a white cartoon rabbit.
