A remote Australian town, Fregon, said they had been "abandoned" by police-the only police station operating in a tin shed was shut down, the Daily Mail reported July 24. Despite an appalling local case-the kidnapping of a nurse, rape and murder.
In 2016, 56-year-old nurse Gayle Woodford was lured by 35-year-old Dudley Davey, step by step, until he died.
Her husband, Keith, joined the community leaders in calling for a police station in the town.
The town's old police station, the tin-shed police station mentioned above, has long been abandoned, with dilapidated houses next to it. The old police station is located 490km southwest of Alice Springs in the arid Lands community of Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (AYP).

Woodford's husband, Keither, said domestic violence in the area was "shocking"
The town-Fregon is located on a dusty plain with a population of about 220 people. The March 2016 cases of nurse rape and murder caused a great deal of panic among local residents.
The killer Davey, who killed nurse Woodford, was in a state of exhilaration when he smoked the virus for three days, and Davey pleaded guilty to the killing of a female nurse by rape and was sentenced to at least 32 years in prison.
The victim's husband, Keith, said domestic violence in the town was "shocking" and needed police control.
Gillian Steel, the manager of a local art center, said he had been attacked by money-extorting thugs who threw a steel bar at her and had to hide in the building and dared not go out.
At present, the manager's home has been put on a security fence, and she thinks the town of Fregon needs more police.
"every day I go to work, then go home, lock the door, and lock myself in the guardrail. The children are going crazy. " She said.

"there are many other problems with Fregon, over and over again. And things are getting worse and worse. For example, the gambling problem, it also caused a series of other problems, even children are playing with gambling, I think the existence of the police is very necessary. "
Ms. Steel said that when she called 000, the operator was a police officer in the port of Augusta, about 1 kilometer away, and it usually took a day for the police to get there at such a distance.
Entering APY's Lands community without special permission is illegal, and it's also a "dry" area, meaning no drinking.
Police say the town is the most "abnormal" of the six Lands communities in ALP.
Last week, South Australian Prime Minister Steven Marshall visited the town of Fregon under the protection of two armed elite tactical response teams.
He said the small population of Fregon meant that it was "very difficult to reach the police force across the board."
