Ewing's arrest was headline news in 1984 and 1985.  This August 22, 1984 Ann Arbor News article reported Eskridge's FALSE story of a "woman jogger (Morris) who was attacked but managed to escape her attacker (Ewing)."

In addition to the false story, Eskridge supplied the Newspaper with a suspect composite identified as the suspect in the Jackson County case.  Years later the defense learned that the sketch was the third in a series of sketches created for this case.  Furthermore, it was supposedly drawn almost a year after the attack.   (See Judy Coltrain Case).

Eskridge kept the media supplied with other  "facts."  The story on the right says that he "saw a Jackson County face composite resembling a man who attacked a Jackson County Woman in 1983."  The composite he was referring to (see above) was the "new" sketch (sketch #3) in the Coltrain (Jackson County) case. 

The article also talks (falsely) about "a woman jogger" (Morris) who was attacked but managed to escape before she was raped in Northfield Township."  According to Morris' own testimony Ewing never touched her.  This testimony, however, came months after the news articles.
