The sheriff said authorities first questioned Hoffman on Thursday, the day after Herrmann failed to show up for work at a Dairy Queen. Police found him sitting in his car near a bike trail opposite property owned by Kenyon College, near where Herrmann's pickup truck was found, Barber said.
Hoffman was jailed without bail after his arrest over the weekend and did not have an attorney, the sheriff said. He would not say how cooperative Hoffman was being and would not comment on whether the girl was assaulted. She was released from a hospital and was staying with relatives, he said.
Hoffman was sentenced to eight years in prison in Colorado in 2001 and was still on parole for arson and other charges for setting a condo on fire to cover up a burglary, said Jon Sarche, a spokesman for the Colorado court system.
His mother and stepfather own a home about a mile from where Sarah and her mother lived in a split-level house surrounded by a big yard, trees and two country roads. Hoffman last lived at his mother's home two years ago, said a woman who answered the door Monday and identified herself as his mother. She declined to comment further before going back inside.
Neighbors said Hoffman often collected leaves on walks through the park, which has three lakes where people fish.
A woman who has lived next to Hoffman for about a year said she told her children to stay indoors when he was out.
"He would sit and listen to us up in a tree. He had a hammock and he would sit there and listen to us," said Dawna Davis, 35. "He was just different. He was very different."
