Savannah police withhold video evidence in Forsyth Park acid attack investigation

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - More than four months after a woman was doused with sulfuric acid in Forsyth Park, Savannah Police say a key piece of video evidence will stay out of the public eye.

SPD says the footage is too poor in quality to generate meaningful leads. The video could create confusion or hinder the ongoing investigation.

Investigators recently met with the victim, Ashley Wasielewski, and her family to share updates on the case. Police say keeping the victim informed is essential.

The department says it remains committed to transparency, but only where it won’t jeopardize the case.

“We will not compromise an active investigation for the sake of public release,” the department said. “Investigators continue to actively pursue all leads in coordination with the FBI.”

Anyone with information, including video, is asked to come forward and contact investigators.
