If anything, this girl should be ARRESTED AND/OR FINED!!! Waste of police time and freaked us out for nothing! Last night I had a three hour discussion about this with a neighbor.... WASTE OF TIME!

So a woman that was found in that area, was not treated at a local hospital for injuries?

I bet all of you gossip mongers who filled in the gaps with your own predjudices feel real good about your comments. Shame on all of you this is the problem with society today.

She should be fined for using up taxpayers money by having the police waste their time.

I have a feeling there is alot more to this story than what is being revealed, based solely on my woman's intuition. Time will tell the real story...

How do you fake being beaten?

It's interesting that the Police Facebook page has had its comments turned off for that particular post, after about 20 people commented on it.

Some of what was written was that yes this incident did occur, with specific people being mentioned as who it was that found this woman. That it was indeed heard on the police scanner as a response to that location.

The original story published here also reports the police were called to take this woman to a hospital, where she was treated for injuries.

This is getting very strange.

Ok so what did happen

Tim. You seem to know a lot about what happened. Maybe the police would like your full name as a person of interest.

We'll post information as it becomes available. In the meantime, let's keep the comments clean and respectful.

It seems that people are leaning towards a cover up. I don't believe the sheriff's office is that corrupt. There probably is a story but I think the woman involved is more to blame then anyone.

This is one of the worst thing I can think of to cry wolf on.

Wow, this is so messed up. She freaked EVERYBODY out in all the surrounding communities... even Chicago nightly news picked up the story. According to reports she was treated at the hospital for something, and my friend's sister actually happened to be driving by on Griswold Springs and saw her crying while talking to the cops, so SOMETHING happened. I wonder if she is covering up domestic abuse.

No explanation?

I'm not claiming to know what happened. You are.

So, you are taking the limited information that the police are allowed to release, twisting it, then msu.

As sad as it all is, she needed the attention for some reason? I hope she gets the professional help she needs for "crying wolf".

Ongoing investigation. Meaning that they are still looking into what really happened. But as they said no assault and no police impersonator. So no need for wide spread panic about being pulled over in the country. Sheesh.

I definatly agree with Tim on this post. This is a serious thing and if she is lying or not the police SHOULD have gotten all of they're facts together before they say it's fake. I think they are saying this because they don't want all the drama! How are they going to say its fake but dont have any information now... Get real!!! (Plus they took her to sandwich hospital, which is the worse hospital ever. They probably couldnt tell if she was raped or not!)

I have to admit I was very worried they wouldnt find the rapist. I had drove by and saw all the diffrent chicago news teams on the scene, with lots of cops and investigators. I think the woman behind this has alot of explaining to do! She had us all freakn worried as hell. Im sorry but, maybe she needs attention and she went the wrong way of doing so. It went from being scared to death in my home town to strange now. Im actually lookn forward to hearing her side of it all.

Could have been fight with boyfriend? Or a poor- choice encounter from a bar? With subsequent rape...was she married and needed a story for husband? Or just needed a story?? There were too many red flags in original news story...daylight on a busy road...pulls down mask and pulls gun in one smooth move...just didn't feel right...so she did need medical attention but did not happen the way she reported...still, it doesn't hurt to remember we must always be aware of everything around us...

Clearly the lady has issues that will torture her well beyond the attention span of most of the posters here. I hope she gets the help and support she needs rather than the ridicule viewed here.

Maybe...
She had a fight with a boyfriend?
She WAS sexually assaulted, and she told the police but told them it was a lie because she was scared?
Get this... I was driving by the Walmart in Plano (I passed by this incident) on Sunday or Monday. I saw two cars (both empty, one Crown Vic) on the side of the road, in the area where this incident happened. It could be that she was assaulted, didn't say anything for a day, TOLD police, and then told them to tell the public it was a lie?
It's just utterly strange.

Unfortunately , I don't see the truth ever being revealed! I still think people should take caution when pulling over for police in a dark, unpopulated area. If ever any doubt call 911 from your cell phone and make sure they are aware of your concerns.

And very scary Bob, maybe she was not the only victim, maybe police need to comb that area more thoroughly.

Obviously she made the whole thing up people. It is funny to read all of the posts that place blame on the Police and not the person who committed this crime of filing a false report. The Police cannot just file charges immediately, now they have to investigate this as her as the offender. They will gather their evidence, and when the investigation is complete, file charges. You people complain about the Police "not doing their jobs", but when they try to complete the investigation before charges get filed, you complain. You can't have it both ways. This has become a high profile case, because of the media coverage. You can't blame them for wanting to dot the I's and cross their T's. Take a big deep breath and relax, there is no threat.

Perhaps she had a dream that this happened. Perhaps she's wanting to be the next Author of books like 50 shades of Grey and is looking to see if she has an interested audience. God only knows, all we know is it is twisted, and the missing key fact has not been released! It's sad for us, the people who live locally, that we had a fear instilled in us thinking this really happened in what we consider "safe haven" however as you see, it is not all that safe because we have "sick people" driving around, making up stories! Reguardless, she needs help!! Hope she gets it!!

Whether it was a cover up for domestic violence or whatever, it was NOT RIGHT to put our community into a panic...we all have been pretty shaken up by all this and then to create a lie and send us all into a tizzy with locking our doors and watching our children and ourselves is just WRONG!! I had seen the scene while it was going on, and there was A LOT of manpower there as well...it just isn't righ!!

I live in the area. Years ago, I was given the advice that if you are signalled to pull over in a secluded area, call 911, ask for the area dispatch, and confirm that it is actually a law enforcement officer asking you to pull over. Then ask Dispatch to inform the officer that you are going to drive to the nearest populated area before pulling over. Don't know if this is correct or legal, but it's what I've told my kids to do as well.

My guess is that she has an abusive boyfriend/husband and was trying to get away from him and then changed her mind. Abuse victims can get very confused. They go back because of the fear of retaliation or what he might do to her children/family if she leaves.
either that or she just wanted attention and is a little messed up. My guess is this girl needs help. It should not go unnoticed that she broke the law, but sounds like she has so serious problems if she did something so strange. Just my opinion.

Neighbors,

Time will tell whether this was an actual event or not. However, it has highlighted the very real potential for something like this to actually happen regardless of where we live.

I was pleased to receive detailed directions from the original news release, via this Patch, that empower the driver too properly and legally handle these potential incidents in the future.

Has it ever occured to people out there that are just plain ill aka makeing your self believe that your something your not or the fact that some people just want the attention of all others for some mental reason. I think this lady does need to be checked out and left for a dr to determine weather or not shy has mental issues or could me some sort of trama from the past who knows but its over and done with and as for the red and blue lights thing i think that cops should be lloking in cars to see for lights im an emt and i have blue lights. They are very easy to get and now that this story has come about the woman that has cried wolf really in fact has put that idea in to someones head and i wouldnt be surprised if it truley happens now. (red/blue lights future ref)

C'mon guys. I'm 18, and you don't see me coming on here picking fights. Grow up a bit.

I assume it was obvious that she had been beat up by someone or by herself, otherwise they would not have taken her to the hospital. The test for rape couid go either way if it was forced or not. I maintain that a threat could still be out there. I agree that you should drive to a lighted and busy area before stopping. Officers will just have to get over it.

Remember years ago there was a woman who said she was raped, turned out she had consensual sex with the guy and then regretted it so much so she carved up her own stomach with glass to make it look better for the story. The guy was convicted and did time and was released when she recanted and said it was all BS. Then they made the talk show circuit. Maybe this gal is related?

Its not that were picking fights its a place where we come together and get different views on it. Its called freedom of speech. Not to start a fight. Its just intaresting to see what other people have to say and we all have that right.
