In each incident, the suspect parked near or pulled up close to the victim, summoned her over to his vehicle to ask a question about parking, and then exposed his genitals. The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 20-25 years old, tall, with dark hair, last seen wearing a blue and white striped shirt, blue jeans, and gray shoes, driving a gray 2017 Hyundai Elantra with dealer in-transit tags.

In each case, the man pulled his gray Hyundai Elantra close to the victim, asked her a question about parking to draw her toward the vehicle, and exposed himself before driving off. The University of Nebraska Omaha Department of Public Safety issued a Clery Act [timely-warning bulletin](https://www.unomaha.edu/news/2017/08/timely-warning-bulletin-indecent-exposure.php) describing the pattern and the suspect's vehicle. UNO's public safety office has issued similar [indecent-exposure and sexual-assault bulletins](https://www.unomaha.edu/news/2017/08/timely-warning-bulletin-sexual-assault.php) in other years, and student reporting has separately [raised concerns about the timeliness of UNO's alert systems](http://unothegateway.com/students-worry-uno-alert-systems-lack-timeliness/).",

    "Three separate victims described an identical suspect and lure tactic within a single hour, letting UNODPS treat the reports as one pattern rather than three isolated incidents",
    "The suspect used a consistent method, asking a parking-related question to draw victims toward his vehicle before exposing himself",
    "A precise vehicle description, a gray 2017 Hyundai Elantra with dealer in-transit tags, was included, unusually granular detail for a timely-warning bulletin",
    "Parking structures are a recurring venue for indecent-exposure reports because they combine isolation with vehicle access"
