Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a woman was raped by a group of men in a churchyard in an Oxfordshire town.
‘Men’ of no obvious appearance again?
Officers said they wanted to trace a “Good Samaritan” they believe might have tried to help the woman as well as anyone else who might have information. The woman, who is in her 30s, was raped by a group of men at St Mary’s Church’s churchyard and the surrounding area of Banbury town centre, police said.
And a witness of no appearance too?
DS Mark Personius, the investigating officer, said: “This is a horrific crime and Thames Valley police is conducting a thorough investigation to identify the offenders. “I am making a public appeal to a specific witness, a woman, who we believe may have tried to help the victim. At this stage, we don’t have a description of this Good Samaritan. However, if you believe you are the woman, please contact the police as you may have vital information that can help us piece together what happened.”
You don't appear to have anything to 'piece together', or are you simply not telling us what you do have deliberately? The police do, after all, have form for this.

Re ‘piecing together what happened’:
A force spokesman said on Thursday afternoon: "A Thames Valley Police investigation into an alleged rape in Banbury last weekend has found no evidence the offence took place as reported [by a third party]. Therefore, we are not currently seeking anyone in relation to this investigation.
We are still supporting the woman involved as our investigation is ongoing to engage with her to understand if any offences took place in different circumstances. No other investigations related to this case are ongoing."

The absence of information provides much information.
