Shortly before the man left, he told Morris not to move for five minutes and gave the impression he had an accomplice, Morris said at that point he Still had no idea one of the women had been attacked. Since the incident, Morris and the two women talk often about it, and Morris said it is constantly on his mind, "although I don't think it has changed my life." Given that the man was armed, Morris said, he and his employees could not have acted differently than they did.

Morris, 33, who has been in general practice for five years and attends law school at night, agreed to participate in the reenactment which was taped in February at a medical office in Boston. "The two women didn't want to be involved," he said, "but I was the least traumatized by it, and I'd gotten over it." Long taping session Taping the entire incident took from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on a Sunday, as scenes were shot over and over. "I had raw wrists at the end of the day from ripping the tape off so many times for the scene where we were taped up," Morris said.

Professional actors played the other roles. "The reenactment was like doing a high school play," he said. "The people were different. It was not traumatic." In Norwood, an intruder entered a Route 1 store shortly after 1 p.m. on Jan.

16. This time, the heavyset man showed a semiautomatic pistol, police said. In the space of about five minutes, he forced the lone clerk into a back storage room and, without locking the front door of the store, robbed and raped her, Milligan said. The rapist told the victim someone was waiting for him outside, according to police. She was discovered about 10 minutes later when a woman from a neighboring store brought in some mail that had been delivered to her by mistake.

"Unsolved Mysteries" researcher Stacy Schneider said she first heard of the rapes and robberies from news reports following the Norwood incident. The story stood out because of the rapes, she said. She called Norwood police and asked if the show could help. 'Usually we pick stories we can help solve," she said. "There is a person out there; it's a matter of finding him." Victims cooperate Schneider said she talked to one of the victims, and it was very painful for her to speak of the incident.

"But they want him caught badly, so they cooperate," she said. The rape-robbery in Boston that is believed tied to the others occurred at 4 p.m. on Dec. 16 at a shoe store in Liberty Square downtown. A semiautomatic pistol was shown.

In the Framingham case, a heavyset man with a revolver surprised two women clerks at a Route 9 clothing store on Dec. 27. He entered at 10 a.m., just after the store had opened. He pulled his gun, locked the front door and ordered a woman to tape a note-on the door saying the store would not open until 11 a.m., Detective Esposito said. The man then ordered the women to the manager's office at the back of the store and forced one of them to take money from the safe, the cash register and the employees' purses, Esposito said.

One woman had just cashed a personal check for more than $400, he said. The robber then told the women to disrobe and go into different rooms. He told each he would harm the other if she tried to get away, and he raped each, Esposito said. When the rapist had left, the women grabbed coats and ran out the fire exit to a nearby house, where they called police. Description complied According to Esposito, the culprit is articulate, well-spoken and, although not tall, large and overpowering.

The victims described him as physically clean and said he was even wearing cologne, possibly one called "Obsession," Esposito said. The two women's lives will never be the same, he said, and they very much want him caught "What if he has AIDS?" Esposito asked. The women in the Framingham store will appear on "Unsolved Mysteries," but they will be in shadow to preserve their privacy, and their voices will be disguised. When the show airs, police are hoping someone will recognize the culprit from descriptions and composite drawings and come forward. "We have so much information and no suspects," said Esposito.

"It's frustrating." In the words of Esposito, "Think of how many people will see this on TV. Somebody out there just might say, 'Hey, I know that and come forward." Continued from Page SOUTH 1 studios when the show airs to take calls and answer questions. Milligan, MacDonald and Framingham Detective Michael Esposito were all interviewed for the program. They said the show's staff seemed to want to stick strictly to the unadorned facts of the cases. "They wanted to be as accurate as possible this is not 'Miami Vice'; this is for real," Esposito said.

The Norfolk County prosecutor assigned to the case, Judith A. Cowin, said she is hopeful the television program will result in leads in the case. She noted that she is not excluding the possibility that a different person was involved in each incident. In Braintree, the culprit entered a mall medical office in the early afternoon the day Christmas and asked to make an appointment for his sister. He came back two hours later, about 3:30 p.m., went to the telephone and even sang Christmas carols along with the piped-in music as he sat in the lobby, according to MacDonald.

"He was in there for 45 minutes," MacDonald said. "He was beyond calm, he was nonchalant." He did not even lock the front door to the office, MacDonald said. After a second telephone call, he asked the woman at the front desk where he could throw a tissue, MacDonald said. As she pointed to a nearby wastebasket, the man pulled a handgun. He forced one woman to tape the wrists of the doctor and a second female employee, according to police.

The taped victims were forced to kneel in separate examining rooms and told to stay there after the intruder turned off the lights, police said. The first woman was ordered to hand over money from the cash drawer, two purses and the doctor's wallet. She was then forced at gunpoint into a third examining room, where the rape took place, police said. At first, Dr. Brian Morris said he thought the intruder was playing some kind of a joke.

But by the time the three employees were forced into his office, "I realized this was a serious thing, not just a quick little robbery. I thought there was a good possibility he was going to kill us," said Morris, who will play himself without disguise on "Unsolved Mysteries."

Meanwhile, officials said, Becon has submitted a proposal to the US Marshal's Service to build a 220- to 440-cell detention center on county property, most likely on a 65-acre wooded tract on the other side of Route 3 from the Plymouth County Jail.

Donovan, the chairman of the Plymouth County commissioners. Federal officials, who declined to confirm or deny whether Plymouth was submitted as a site, are currently reviewing the various proposals for the detention center, which must be within an hour's drive of the US District Courts in Boston and Providence. Contractors are being called in to discuss prices, zoning qualifications and necessary clearances for the land, according to William Dempsey, a spokesman in Washington for the Marshal's Service. A final decision on the site will be made later this month, possibly as early as April 15, Dempsey said.

The jail would be operated by the contractor and leased to the federal government with a purchase option. Russell Rau, the representative for Becon, did not return telephone calls to his office last week to discuss the proposal. He had met informally with Plymouth and Kingston officials about the idea of a jail in January and seemed to drop the idea when he was met with a cold reception. County officials were apparently far more interested. "If it makes money for the county, how can we not be interested?" asked Patricia Lawton, a county commissioner.

"Everyone knows the situation the county is in now. But there are a lot of other things we have to take into account Environmentally, we have to make sure it makes sense with our good neighbors in Plymouth." If the federal government shows an interest in the next two to three weeks, the county would then likely approach town officials with the proposal and hold a public hearing on the topic, officials said. Prospect not welcome Town residents and officials, who already play host to a minimum-security prison in the state forest and Plymouth County Jail, which sits be less than thrilled with the pros-. pect of another jail. "I would think that the public would continue to have some con- "4 cerns," said Jack Lenox, the town" planner.

"We would certainly sit down and discuss it and evaluate all of the various impacts prior to taking any sort of firm position. But in general, there is some feeling that with the county farm, and the state jail, that we have certainly done our part" Town officials said they are unsure if they would be entitled to the considerable tax revenue that such a privately constructed jail would likely generate because it would likely be built on county property. County officials said they are not sure whether they would lease the land to Becon or sell it but would prefer the latter. Residents of the Obery Heights section, who have unsuccessfully opposed the upcoming expansion of the county jail, said a new federal facility would be further removed and could be less of a problem. Nonetheless, they look forward to a public airing of the issue.

"It is a little bit nervy of county commissioners to think they can negotiate the placement of that type of facility on county property without letting the town know," said Sam Butterfield. "My main concern would be siting, just as it is with the county facility. I don't think any kind of prison would be eood in a neiriibor- vy fflOaPODOWB ffillXTjrjDLB amfc QLTP i ptcclsetting." "JUST ONE OF THE MANY HOMES WE CAN BUILD FOR YOU" MODEL OPEN DAILY 1-5 P.M. Facing budget problems County officials said they were trying to develop creative approaches to solving dire budget problems. They said they have been looking into some sort of use for the parcel that would generate money for both the town and county.

At one point they were even considering a hamburger restaurant and a motel, according to Donovan, the commissioner. "It is a Catch-22 situation," said Donovan. "We are unique in that rather than take some of the approaches of other counties, we have been trying to be unique in our ideas and using some of our land so we can have a revenue stream."
