KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The reward for information leading to the capture a man who is believed to have raped five women in a Kansas City neighborhood is $3,000 fatter.

Investigators have received about 700 tips in their search for the so-called Waldo rapist, who has terrified residents of the Waldo neighborhood. The reward for helping catch him is now $15,000.

The latest attack happened last month when a man climbed through an unlocked window in a nearby neighborhood and sexually assaulted a woman in her 30s.

Police released a composite sketch of the suspect in January, describing him as black, 6 feet tall, 250 pounds and bald.

The rapes have spurred creation of several groups on the social networking site Facebook dedicated to finding the assailant.
