The witness described a 5'10" male with short, red hair, wearing a dark gray T-shirt and carrying a black backpack.
Castleton resident Mary Waite said she didn’t leave the house much over the weekend, is being careful and has been looking out her back door a lot because the woods behind the house leads to the trail area. Valma Brown, who works at the Castleton Village Store, said she feels safe with the police presence around town. “They're watching out for us so I feel pretty safe,” she said. “Some people are really on edge and they don't want to go anywhere. It's just creepy how it happened in this small town.”
