ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- State Police have now released the mug shot of David Renz, the man accused in the brutal attacks on a woman and child in Clay last week.

David Renz, 29, was arrested on charges of murder, rape and kidnapping. But because authorities did not want to hinder their investigation, they asked that his picture not be shown until now.

Meanwhile, his case has been moved to a grand jury for possible indictment.

Renz is accused of attacking Lori Bresnahan and young girl last Thursday night. Federal authorities say Renz was able to remove and reassemble his court-ordered electronic monitoring bracelet before the attacks.

Authorities say he removed and reassembled the GPS bracelet so quickly that it may have prompted what appeared to be a false alarm, or, the alarm may have gone undetected for hours.

It was almost five hours before the Colorado company monitoring the bracelet notified probation officers in Syracuse. Probation officers had allegedly told the company not to notify them of brief interruptions of monitor signals because they were getting alerts when the bracelet hit against something.
