October 13, 1986: A rape is allegedly committed in Branch County, Michigan. Fortunately, this did not happen. This false report was followed by a false report in LaGrange County, Indiana and a false report in Steuben County, Indiana. Two other reported rapes appear to have been genuine.
There are 92 counties in Indiana and 83 in Michigan. Branch County is to the north of the other two and all three are adjacent.
LaGrange County Prosecutor Susan Glick was not happy with the false reports, neither were the police. A sheriff said rumours and false reports interfered with the investigations.
