A Bizarre Story of Mistaken Identity

According to the Associated Press (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060601/D8HV5HV80.html), the VanRyn family from MICHIGAN thought their daughter had survived a deadly road crash in INDIANA and was recovering nicely after being in a coma.

It turns out however that who the VanRyns THOUGHT was their daughter Laura was actually one of their daughter's friends - Whitney Cerak.

The Ceraks had already buried who they THOUGHT was Whitney but who was actually Laura.

The INDIANA authorities naturally gave their OMG & Gee-Whizz statements for the AP story. Not stated in the dispatch was the possibility authorities had been confused because both women were Angelo-Saxon blondes.
