Police puzzled by her story
TRAVERSE CITY -- Crawford County Sheriff's Office is trying to figure out how a woman from Indiana ended up in Northern Michigan, battered along side of the road.
A hunter found the victim along Bald Hill Road in Lovell Township Monday morning. She was taken to Caid's grocery store until police arrived.
The victim told investigators that she was at a bar in Indianapolis Saturday night and left with a couple she didn't know. She says after several hours of driving the couple beat her up and told her to get out of the car.
Investigators say they still have a lot of questions, and not many answers.
Sheriff Kirk Wakefield says, "There are a lot of holes in this story, a lot of big gaps. It does not flow at all. You can't put it together, its like a puzzle and a lot of peices are missing."
The victim says she doesn't know the names of the suspects, the type of car she was traveling in, or where they stopped for gas, but more than 400 miles later she found herself in trouble.
Caid's Grocery Employee, Sandy Stott says, "I would say she was left for dead, we had to help her with clothes."
The victim says she was not sexually assaulted, and police say they did not find any drugs or alcohol in her system.
