Pittsboro woman recounts abuse by two men at Riverside Park
Pittsboro resident Katie Duzan and Irene Wyatt, teenagers from Jamestown, describe being drugged and assaulted after a park excursion in Indianapolis. They detail two men, one tall in a checked suit and a diamond ring, who pressured them into a canoe ride and a private house before the pair fell ill. Duzan reports losing most of their money and says she and Wyatt drank carbolic acid to end their distress. Investigators and mothers express frustration at police efforts while communities mourn Wyatt, a local favorite, and Duzan, who may never speak clearly again.
