Just before 3:00 a.m. this morning a call went out to local firefighters and police that a woman was about to give birth in the parking lot of a church, near railroad tracks, somewhere in Bates County. It was soon becoming obvious that the woman was traveling and unsure of her location, as Adrian, Amsterdam and Central Cass Fire Departments canvassed the area along with the Bates County Sheriff's Department.
The woman was not located; it was later revealed that the call originally came out of Johnson County Ks., and the caller (possibly family) thought the woman might have been traveling through Bates County at the time.
