Tale of ‘Kidnapped' Montana Woman Calling From Car Trunk Appears to Unravel

The woman said she was forced into a car trunk by a man she didn't know

Authorities are seriously questioning the incredible story of the Montana woman who was found dead in Washington after having told her husband and police that she'd been kidnapped and was calling them from the trunk of her own car.

The body of Rita M. Maze, 47, of Great Falls, Montana, was found shortly after midnight Wednesday in a parking lot outside Spokane, Wash., International Airport, according to Montana and Washington authorities.

They said she'd made the phone calls from the trunk of the car, where she said a man she didn't know had forced her after having struck her on the head.
