Detectives said that while inside the victim's home, the suspect stole two of the victim’s designer watches, his iPhone 12 Pro, his wallet and cash - totaling about $52,500 in losses.

The victim, Bobby Scali, told NBC 6 through a phone interview he didn't remember anything from that night and couldn't even remember going home.

Scali said he was drugged and he couldn't feel his legs. A toxicology report showed that there were several drugs in his body, including GHB — a date rape drug.

Surveillance footage showed the suspect leaving the victim's home by herself about two hours after arriving.

Officials described the suspect as a Black female with shoulder-length red hair. She was approximately 5-foot-4 and weighs around 120 pounds with a potential neck tattoo.
