Three months after a Madison Valley massage and wellness spa owner was attacked by a man who tried to rape and rob her at knifepoint, it was a Fremont neighborhood colleague who helped Seattle Police arrest her suspected assailant last week.

On Monday鈥檚 Dori Monson Show, spa owner Amber Myers credited her friend and fellow massage therapist, Richard, with 鈥渁bsolutely scouring the Internet, kind of relentlessly鈥� searching for images of the man authorities believe committed the mid-day attack on Myers in late August.

Using doorbell video camera images of other alleged crimes throughout Seattle, Richard used his amateur sleuthing skills and social media to point police toward the recent movements of suspect Jordan Alexander, 33.

Dori: Madison Valley business owner describes feeling ‘frozen’ during knife attack, attempted rape

When one Ballard-area home video popped up on , showing a man resembling Alexander allegedly stealing someone鈥檚 porch furniture, Richard began tracking related social media threads and posts in nearby neighborhoods, she said.

鈥淗e was able to see where people had seen him (Alexander) and were able to point officers to all those locations,鈥� Myers continued.

Armed with that information, Seattle Police officers arrested Alexander in the University District Dec. 1 while they were there are on unrelated response, SPD reported.

鈥淚t almost sounds miraculous,鈥� Dori told Myers. 鈥淭here are so many attempted home break-ins and so many Ring camera videos that it seems like a needle-in-a-haystack to find the guy who attacked you.鈥�

鈥淭hat鈥檚 why I鈥檓 so thankful to have the friend I have,鈥� she responded. 鈥淗e recognized that this person is a career criminal, so he鈥檚 probably still in town, probably still committing crimes. The odds are he鈥檚 going to show up on somebody鈥檚 security camera.鈥�

At the time of the attack on Myers, Alexander had escaped from a work release program. He qualified for the release after serving 10 months of a 48-month sentence for bank robbery. After threatening Myers inside her business on Aug. 31, Alexander allegedly bolted after a colleague returned to the spa and interrupted the attack. Left behind: A package filled with knives.

More from Dori: I can appreciate government work every once in awhile

In fact, it was security camera images of Alexander that helped Myers identify him to detectives after her assault. When he entered her Madison Valley business three months ago, he was wearing an orange hardhat and appeared to be making a delivery. Other older images provided by Seattle Police show Alexander dressing as a woman in a head scarf. Records show Alexander has 22 other prior arrests 鈥� including charges of theft, robbery, harassment, assault and domestic violence.

鈥淚t鈥檚 shocking how that even happens,鈥� Myers told Dori.

Alexander is now charged with attempted robbery with a deadly weapon and attempted rape with a deadly weapon in her case, she added.

When the case comes to trial, Dori asked, how will Myers feel about facing Alexander?

鈥淥n one hand, I鈥檓 really psyched. I like the idea of revenge,鈥� she said. On the other hand? Myers said she feels 鈥渜ueasy鈥� about having to look directly at him, adding that 鈥渋t needs to happen. I would like to see him put away for good this time.鈥�
