A False Report
She said she was raped; police said she lied It was an easy case to close until two detectives cracked it back open 'I pretty much read A False Report in one sitting It is deeply disturbing but brilliant I hope it helps with the seismic shift needed in attitudes to women who are brave enough to come forward when they have been assaulted' Sandi ToksvigOne of Stylist Magazine's 20 Must-Read Books of 2018 On 11 August 2008 eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man had broken into her home and raped her Within days police - and even those closest to Marie - became suspicious of her story details of the crime just didn't seem plausible Confronted with the seeming inconsistencies Marie broke down and said her story was a fabrication - a bid for attention The police convicted her of
making a false report She was vilified as a liar More than two years later some 1600 kilometres away detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to a case of sexual assault It bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town Galbraith contacted the detective on that case Edna Hendershot and they joined forces Galbraith and Hendershot soon realised they were dealing with a serial rapist a man who took calculated steps to erase all physical evidence who photographed each of his victims threatening to release the images online if the women went to the police After weeks of meticulous investigation they had a name But they also had yet another victim - a young woman whose identity was a mystery a possible missing link It was imperative they find her Based on
