A Georgia woman is on a long road to recovery after 50% of her body was burned in an "unprovoked acid attack" as police continue to search for her attacker.
According to the FBI Atlanta Field Office and the Savannah Police Department (SPD), Ashley Wasielewski, 46, was returning to her home near Forsyth Park, a 30-acre park in the historic district, when a man approached her from behind and poured acid on her.
The incident happened around 8:15 p.m. Dec. 10. Police are seeking an unknown male who was wearing dark clothing.
According to the SPD, when they arrived on the scene, Wasielewski’s clothes were melted and so were her car keys. Witnesses say her screams were terrifying.
"We don’t know who did it," her son, Westley Wasielewski, told The Associated Press. "She doesn’t have any enemies. She is a friend to everyone."
