SAVANNAH, Georgia (WJCL) — Savannah police say they still have no suspects and no known motive in an acid attack at Forsyth Park that left Ashley Wasieliski burned over more than half her body.
But a man who says he witnessed the attack back on December 10 is publicly sharing for the first time what he saw that night.
A witness, K.K. Kendall, told WJCL 22 News he was walking through the park when he noticed a man acting “agitated,” yelling and cursing as if on the phone.
Kendall said the man appeared to calm down and, moments later, Kendall heard screams.
Kendall said he ran toward the sound and found Wasieliski with her jacket melting and disintegrating. He said another man tried to help by pouring Coca-Cola on her.
Kendall described the person he believes attacked Wasieliski as about 6 feet tall, wearing all black and appearing to have dreadlocks. Savannah police confirmed they interviewed Kendall as a witness but declined to comment on the description he provided.
Wasieliski’s son said she is recovering after multiple operations, including skin-graft surgery. More than $300,000 has been raised to help with her recovery.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing and no arrests have been made.
