4th Precinct Weekly Highlights

4th precinct weekly highlights are compiled by the staff of the 4th Precinct.

Low light is the case of the ND woman kidnapped and tortured by her ex, and his wife. Although she was dragged around several counties, I am not sure I know where the 4th precinct fits in. The way I read this, she did not know exactly where he took her.
