He planned. He waited. He pounced.
Then, cops say, after raping and nearly killing a college co-ed in her off-campus apartment, he apologized.
Sources tell The National ENQUIRER that police identified the pervert within 48 hours, and launched a massive manhunt that stretched from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., to Mexico.
According to authorities, Edibaldo “Eddie” Duran, a 5-foot-2 Mexican national, crept into the 21-year-old senior’s bedroom about 2 a.m. on Sept. 1.
“Have you seen my dog?” Duran creepily asked, prompting the terrified woman to scream.
That’s when the violent sex fiend punched and choked her, causing her to pass out, say police.
When the victim came to, Duran forced her to perform oral sex and raped her, police said.
