FORT WORTH, Texas -- Howell County (Mo.) sheriff’s deputies arrived here on Friday to try to talk with a man whom they describe as a "person of interest" in a police imposter case. Steven Harsch is charged in Fort Worth with a similar crime.
Until recently, Harsch lived in West Plains. Detectives questioned him last month about two incidents in which a man posing as a police officer stopped and attacked a women who were driving alone.
Howell County Sheriff Robbie Crites said Harsch had a "fairly plausible" alibi for the time of one of the imposter incidents. Both attacks were near West Plains, about a week apart. The imposter raped the first woman but the second was able to escape.
