   Fear gripped the small town of Denison, Tex., after 18-year-old   
   Breana Harmon Talbott burst into a church on a Wednesday night,   
   bleeding and wearing only a shirt, bra and underwear. She said   
   that three black men in ski masks had kidnapped her.   
      
   But that was not the worst of it.   
      
   “She told witnesses at the church she had been kidnapped and   
   sexually assaulted in the woods behind the church,” the Denison   
   County Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday.   
   “There were also visible cuts and/or scratches on her body.”   
      
   The March 8 incident was all over the local news, making “many   
   in the community fearful there were individuals abducting   
   women,” police said. Social media erupted so explosively, the   
   police chief attempted to calm the community in a March 15 post   
   on the Denison Police Department Facebook page.   
      
   Still no arrests were made, no suspects named.   
      
   “We all need to stay alert and make sure that there are warnings   
   issued to all young women, middle aged women and yes even older   
   women that this has happened,” posted one Facebook user. “Lord   
   find these animals give them what thay deserve,” posted another.   
      
   The story caught the attention of far right websites, which   
   focused on the alleged suspects’ race. Many seemed angry over a   
   perceived lack of media coverage.   
      
   It was posted five times to a Donald Trump subreddit. One   
   headline read, “Three black man kidnapped and gang raped an   
   engaged 18 year old white girl yesterday. IF THE RACES WERE   
   REVERSED, THIS WOULD BE NATIONAL NEWS. THESE MEN DESERVE TO BE   
   HANGED.”   
      
   The message board Stormfront, which promotes white-nationalist   
   ideologies, posted a 19-page thread titled, “Beautiful 18 year   
   old White girl (who happened to be race traitor) kidnapped and   
   raped by 3 negroes.” It is unclear why she’s labeled a “race   
   traitor.” Neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer also picked up the   
   story.   
      
   Whites need a mafia… so if you want to rape a white girl like   
   Breana Talbott the white mafia finds you and your family and   
   puts you down

   On Wednesday, nearly two weeks after Talbott burst into the   
   church, police said called her story a “hoax” and the   
   allegations deemed “officially UNFOUNDED.” In a statement, the   
   police chief admonished Talbott for the turmoil she caused in   
   the community and for making offensive claims about African   
   Americans.   
      
   “The so-called victim in the case confessed to the hoax last   
   evening (March 21) to a member of the investigative team working   
   the case,” read a news release by the Denison Police Chief Jay   
   Burch. “Talbott’s hoax was also insulting to our community and   
   especially offensive to the African-American community due to   
   her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax.”   
      
   “The department will file a criminal case against her for False   
   Report to a Peace Officer, a Class B Misdemeanor” and will “seek   
   restitution for the significant costs for conducting such a   
   major investigation,” Burch’s statement said.   
      
   Talbott was booked into the Grayson County Correctional Facility   
   in Sherman, Tex., according to online records. It is unclear if   
   she has been released.   
      
   The Denison Police Department declined to comment when contacted   
   by The Washington Post on Wednesday night.

   Sam Hollingsworth, Talbott’s fiance at the time, first called   
   police March 8 to report she was missing after finding her car   
   in the parking lot of her apartment complex, which is less than   
   two miles from the church where she turned up partially clothed.   
      
   “Her back door wide open, phone keys right over here, phone case   
   was broken, right over in this area over here, I found one of   
   her shoes,” Hollingsworth, told KXII.   
      
   Police began searching, using a K-9 team.   
      
   Talbott reappeared about three hours later, stumbling into the   
   New Creation Church.   
      
   “She was just in her T-shirt, with scratches on her, she was   
   trembling she was so afraid,” congregation member Ana Bermudez   
   told KXII.   
      
   The church’s pastor, Saul Marquez, told Fox 4: “She was in bad   
   shape. She was bleeding. They had to bring some sheets to cover   
   her up and try to calm her down.”   
      
   “I can’t really describe how she looked, it’s just awful, it   
   tore me up really badly,” Hollingsworth told KXII, adding that   
   Talbott said she was robbed of “four rings, our engagement ring,   
   class ring and a necklace in the shape of a heart.”   
      
   “She said she was sexually assaulted and three black males in a   
   black SUV took her,” Denison Police Lt. Mike Eppler told the   
   Dallas Morning News. “[The vehicle] went down a bumpy road and   
   that’s the only thing that she could tell us, so right now we’re   
   really wanting information.”   
      
   She also said the men wore ski masks.   
      
   She was taken to the Texoma Medical Center in Denison, where   
   police said they first became suspicious of her story.   
      
   “Almost from the beginning, we had doubts in Breana Harmon   
   Talbott’s story as the puzzle pieces just weren’t coming   
   together,” the police chief said in a statement. “We were unable   
   to corroborate any of Talbott’s allegations that she had been   
   abducted or sexually assaulted.”   
      
   “Although I do not have the official report, it is our   
   understanding that medical personnel who examined Talbott were   
   unable to corroborate that Talbott had been sexually assaulted,”   
   the statement said.   
      
   Still, the hunt for the three attackers continued. In a Facebook   
   post, Talbott’s mother wrote, “This is going to be a brutally   
   honest post. Today my daughter was taken by force by 3 black   
   men. 2 raped her and she is cut head to toe by a knife. …   
   Someone had to have saw something!!! This town is small, if   
   anyone, anyone hears ANYTHING, please call the Denison Police   
   Department,” according to several news organizations that screen   
   captured the now-deleted post.   
      
   It is unclear why Talbott confessed on Tuesday. She told police   
   her wounds were self-inflicted.   
      
   “According to Talbott’s confession, we believe the crime scene —   
   from the initial ‘kidnapping’ scene at the apartment complex to   
   the point of Talbott’s condition when she walked into the church   
   — were staged,” Burch’s statement said.   
      
   Hollingsworth claimed to know nothing of the “hoax.”   
      
   “I was hurt. It was hard to take in whenever I found out about   
   everything,” he told KDFW. “Somebody that I actually trusted and   
   was planning on spending the rest of my life with could do   
   something like this to me and everybody else in this community.”   
      
   “We have mixed emotions on a case like this,” Burch said in a   
   news conference Wednesday afternoon, the Herald Democrat   
   reported. “We’re happy it didn’t occur, but there could be   
   permanent damage as a result — a damage of relationships within
