A complete fabrication wouldn't be easy to pull off in most of the country, but there are regions/states where there is relative lack of accountability. In such cases, I would assume it will be mostly the handiwork of individuals with connections in law enforcement and politics. And of course, it will be much easier when the victim has no local connections.
