Was Doc Reed the Guilty Man in New Castle Case
Miss Carter could not positively identify Doc Reed as her attacker and witnesses say the evidence points to his innocence. Reed, arrested in Indianapolis, was questioned by Chief Quigley and officers who found his alibi largely consistent. The scene at the Carter home drew heavy press and police presence as doubt grew about Reed’s guilt. Authorities kept Reed in custody for further examination while Irvington and Morristown reports suggested potential misidentification despite Carter’s uncertain certainty.
