The abduction and rape of a Niles, Michigan woman is the Crime of the Week In July 1985, a 20-year-old woman was walking on 13th Street near Fulkerson Baptist Church in Niles. A white van parked in front of the woman, and two men got out and forced her into the van. They drove to a wooded area near Fulkerson Park and, again using force, took the victim into the woods and raped her. Apparently a passing motorist scared the suspects, and they fled the area leaving their victim behind. The van is possibly a Chevrolet, white in color, with a 12" red stripe around the entire van. Suspect No. 1 is a white male, 25-years-old, 5’9”,
