Officers remain tight-lipped about injured woman case

Four days after a Lawrence woman was found seriously injured at a rural Douglas County home, sheriff’s officials aren’t releasing details about the incident.

Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a medical emergency call just after 10 p.m. June 19, at 1602 N.1500 Road. The home’s in a rural area, just east of Oak Hills cemetery and the Lawrence city limits.

A 50-year-old woman was transported to a Kansas City area hospital by helicopter. Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell helped with an investigation at the home, which went into the next morning.
