Police searched a local residence Tuesday looking for evidence that could connect Donald Vaughan to the sexual assaults of two Kilmarnock women.

Vaughan confessed on Monday in Baltimore to the Saturday rape and attempted murder of a third victim in Canton, Md., according to Kilmarnock Police Chief Mike Bedell. Officers from Lancaster interviewed Vaughan in Maryland and obtained a confession on the November 28 sexual assault and December 1 rape of victims in the Chase Street area of Kilmarnock.

According to a report in the Baltimore Sun, Vaughan tried to commit suicide in his jail cell Monday night after making the confessions. An official in the prosecutor’s office verified a medical examination was ordered for suicide risk.

Also, the Sun reported court officials in arguing against bail said Vaughan had no adult criminal convictions but was on juvenile supervision for four separate incidents of breaking and entering and burglaries committed before the age of 18.

One of the burglaries occurred a block away from the place of Saturday’s attack. Vaughan was arrested at his sister’s house some 12 blocks from the third victim. Police tracked him through cell phones he allegedly stole from the victim.

On September 25, Vaughan joined his mother in Virginia with the permission of his parole officer who transferred his supervision to Lancaster County, according to local officials.

The day after the second attack in Kilmarnock, Vaughan was stopped and questioned by police as he walked on the street at 4:30 a.m., said Beddell. However, without knowledge of his court-sealed juvenile record in Maryland and based on an alibi provided by his mother, police released him.

Neither Kilmarnock victim was able to give a description of their attacker because the attacks occurred before dawn, said Bedell. Law enforcement in the surrounding counties assisted town police in saturating the area with coverage, keeping Vaughan and other suspects under surveillance while a lab processed DNA evidence from the crime scenes. Results are expected before the end of the year.

Bedell said Baltimore authorities were notified that Vaughan was a suspect and that he was returning to Maryland for the holidays.
