The following email arrived at 3:04 PM.

I was alerted to look for something by District 47’s Communications Director Lori Parrish’s having robo-called to tell me the same information.

Forewarned, etc.

Complete Message: This afternoon a female high school student who was walking back to school following her lunch period, was approached by a man in a small silver 4 door vehicle in the east parking lot of Husmann Elementary School. [Emphasis added.]
