MPD said: "This is a fake post and not true. We would be the first to let the public know if something like this was going on."
The allegedly fake post is/was placed on the Manchester Ky Swap And Trade Facebook page by Molly J. Lennon and is a warning post with pictures and names regarding a supposedly dangerous couple. The complete "printed as written" post is below.
Allegedly fake post:
3h - Warning!! Everyone around #manchesterky is being urged to stay alert and vigilant this new season. A dangerous couple, Fred Crawford (43) and Mariel Wayne(36), is reportedly going door-to-door claiming to be homeless and seeking help, only to attack those who offer assistance. On January 3rd, they brutally attacked a 40-year-old single mother with a knife, leaving her fighting for her life
Following this, they hijacked a vehicle from an 87-year- old woman by pretending to be lost on which was her grandson Matthew Stein (3). They are now on the run in her 2015 white Nissan Altima (4-door). This couple is very dangerous. If you see them or their vehicle, do not approach. Immediately call the police. Please bump this post and alert others
AGAIN: The Manchester Police Department reports that this post is FAKE!!
