Just days after a young girl was apparently abducted and killed, Greenville Independent School District Superintendent Don Jefferies says a man approached a middle school girl and offered her a ride at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Jefferies said man was waiting on Texas Street in front of the middle school as if he were waiting on a child. Jefferies said the man drove toward the student in the parking lot, lowered his window and offered a ride. The girl refused the ride, and just as that was happening, her aunt approached and the man sped off, Jefferies said.
The man was described as Hispanic with gray hair and a partial, stubbled gray beard. He was wearing a gray Dallas Cowboys T-shirt and spoke English, but not well, Jefferies said. The man was driving a gray or silver Dodge four-door pickup truck with side rails on top of a cargo box.
The district plans to send a letter to parents Thursday alerting them to the incident and to ask them to remind their children not to engage in conversation with strangers and to certainly not take any rides offered to them by people they don't know. Officials ask that anyone with information to please call the Greenville Police Department at 903-457-2900.
Investigators are working to determine if Wednesday's incident could be connected to the murder of Alicia Moore, whose body was found Tuesday inside a trunk of some sort along Farm-to-Market Road 47.
Moore was reported missing by her family Friday night after she didn't return home from school. Video from on onboard camera shows Moore getting off the school bus just a block from her home.
What happened to Moore after she got off of the bus remains a mystery.
