REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Redmond police are a searching for a white man who visited a store owned by a black woman and reportedly left behind a bag containing a Ku Klux Klan robe.
The Seattle Times reports (http://goo.gl/vntDnS ) a man in his mid-20s visited a consignment shop owned by Leona Coakley-Spring Wednesday evening.
Coakley-Spring told police the man sold clothes to her in what she called a "nice and normal interaction."
Police say he then fled, leaving the bag with the robe, a loose rope and other items inside.
Coakley-Spring told police she thought it was a priest robe at first, but noticed a hood with two eyes cut out. Police say the garment also has two patches that resemble symbols associated with the KKK.
Investigators are working with experts on the case.
