Evesham Knife Suspect Still At Large

EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- In New Jersey, people in Evesham Township are being more cautious after a neighbor was seriously wounded in a stabbing and the attacker is still on the loose.

There were multiple flower deliveries Wednesday to the Evesham Township home of stabbing victim Nancy Clark Monday. Her husband, Alfred, said off camera that she is a private person and that the family did not want to comment at this time.

Tuesday, the area around the Clark home remained roped off as a crime scene. Police were out in large numbers, combing the grounds, looking for anything that might lead them to the man who stabbed Clark in the neck and upper body.

Police released a sketch of the suspect on Wednesday (pictured, above).

Law enforcement officials say they see don't see a link to the attack on Clark and the stabbing death of Krista DiFrancesco in Evesham Township last May. She lived just over 7 miles away.

DiFrancesco, 24, was the mother of a 9-month-old daughter when she was stabbed repeatedly just outside of her townhouse in the Kings Grant development of Evesham Township. She died two days later on May 12. Police have not found her killer or the murder weapon. With two stabbings in Evesham Township in six months and no arrests imminent, the community is on edge.

"I'm quite concerned about it. I just know that all of our students are safe and home where they needed to be before anything happened to them," said Kim Cavavllaro, of Atco, N.J.

Fred Currie told NBC 10 News that both men and women are scared. "They just worry, you know, that he hasn't been caught yet," Currie said.

"It's scary because it's right in our neighborhood. This happened in a very nice neighborhood," said Pam Severs of Shamong Township, N.J.

Clark remains hospitalized in critical condition.
