FOX 5 New York's Lisa Evers reports that detectives used timestamps and a sequence of surveillance recordings to identify a suspect in a Central Park rape investigation. The arrest came in Miami, where NYPD detectives and a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force took a man into custody at the restaurant where he worked.

Reporting remotely from Central Park, Evers tells anchor Antwan Lewis that police are charging the suspect in connection with three rapes. The report begins with the October attack, in which a woman was dragged into the park from East 66th Street and Fifth Avenue, before explaining that the charges also concern attacks in 2021 and 2023.

Evers describes how investigators pieced together footage despite the park's dimly lit areas. She also explains the cooperation between local detectives and federal marshals that allowed the investigation to extend beyond New York.

The broadcast drew about 68,000 views in its first nine hours, already well above the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. Its account ends with the next legal step: seeking extradition from Florida to bring the suspect to New York.
