KCSO: Hayden Rape Report Unfounded

After investigating a report of a man abducting and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old Hayden girl Monday night, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office says they have not been able to validate those claims. Deputies received a call at about 10:30 pm to a home near the city of Hayden Monday night after a father went into his 17-year-old daughter's room and found that she was not there, and there appeared to be signs of a struggle. A short time later, the 17-year-old girl called 911 to report that she had been abducted from her room and sexually assaulted by an unknown man. The girl told deputies the man then fled into the woods near her house/KHQ. More here.
