What they're saying:

Women in the Altamonte Springs area are on edge as a suspect accused of attacking three different women remains on the run.

"It could have happened to me in that little bit of time – because I had no idea," said Samantha Bisbee.

Bisbee walks to work at the Waffle House, half a block from where one of the attacks happened. The attacks have left her and her co-workers nervous.

"We go outside to take trash, and we’ve got to do a buddy system now," Bisbee said.

Even running errands with her daughter, the attacks are on her mind.

"It’s kind of scary, I’m not going to lie, that’s why I’m trying to hurry up and get to the store before it gets dark," Bisbee said. "I pray they catch him before he does do it again."

Dr. Elizabeth Dee works at a clinic less than 100 feet away from the Mexican restaurant.

"It can happen to anybody, and the area can be isolated at night; sometimes a little bit dark," Dee said.

With the suspect still at large, dee said her team is taking extra precautions.

"Go home earlier, not to stay in the office working late, and just being more aware of the people around us," said Dee.
