GEISMAR -- While investigators pressed a search for a serial killer in and around Baton Rouge, an 18-year-old Prairieville woman escaped what appeared to be an attempted kidnapping Tuesday in a grocery store parking lot.

Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley said a witness sitting in his Federal Express van saw a man walk up to the woman about 5:45 p.m. in the parking lot of LeBlanc's Payless Food Store on La. 42 and grab her.

"It looked like an attempted kidnapping. He grabbed her by the leg and chest, like he wanted to pick her up and hoist her away," Wiley said.

Wiley said the witness -- a Federal Express employee who was picking up a package at the Galvez Pharmacy next to the grocery store -- got out of his van and walked toward the suspect and the woman.

The suspect let go of the woman and hopped into a black pickup truck, the sheriff said. Wiley would not release the name of the victim or the witness.

Wiley said the last information he received from his deputies was that the suspect raced away on La. 42 in the pickup and was heading for Livingston Parish.

Wiley said he had all his manpower looking for the black pickup.

"The witness already said that the truck fits the description of the white truck authorities are looking for in the serial killer case except that the truck is black," Wiley said.

Wiley said the suspect driving the black pickup was described by the witness as a white man between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet in height, with a slim build. He was wearing a blue denim welder's cap and sunglasses hanging around his neck.

His hair, dark and curly brown, was collar length and he possibly has a mustache. He was wearing light-colored blue jeans and a blue plaid, flannel long-sleeved shirt. He was also wearing brown work boots.

Wiley said the black truck was a mid-1990s black Chevrolet single-cab truck. The license plate looked damaged. Wiley said the paint job was fair and the rear window was tinted. The bumper looked chrome, according to the witness.

"Obviously we would be foolish not to realize the potential here," Wiley said when he was asked whether he thought the suspect could be the serial killer
