The MSM saved a life this time around.
To make her unrecognizable?
I agree. This story is a fabrication. New Mexico... hmmm? Probably abducted by aliens (of either kind) and replaced by spy/scout.
That irratates the hell out of me. An inner city kid goes missing and it gets page B12 coverage for a day.
Whatever you're smokin'... do you have a qtr/oz or so to spare? I'm running low... :-)
Ahem... not here, honey.
That's what I'm thinking, it's wonderful that she's ok. But this story is still weird and I'm sure there are aspects that we will never know. And I still find the fiance creepy, regardless.
That's a fact. Remember this? This goes to your thought that FR is amazing.

Freepers are people who post to a rather interesting bulletin board service called Free Republic. A lot of my blogging friends know about them, but surprisingly enough, not very many of them view them as a news source they visit frequently. I think the Freepers are an essential element in gathering news. If you go in with the right mindset, and know what you are looking for, it can be a goldmine of information.
Hugh Hewitt has often called freepers the Coast Watchers of the new media. When news happens, either in print, on radio, or on television, someone will post a link, and much of the meat of the story, as the beginning of a thread. Within minutes, if the story is juicy enough, just like flies, freepers all over will descend on the story and give their two cents worth.
Here's where the discernment of the person surfing has to come in. There are saboteurs who will immediately try to spin the story, especially if it's political, and there will be people from every walk of life taking their shots until the end of the thread takes the original picture the story paints and turns it into a Picasso.
All I can say is that God answered their prayers.
It was the bride-to-be angle that they went with.
Cutting her hair would disguise what she looked like. I hope that was all that was done to her.
I'm just glad for her family's sake that she has been found. There's plenty of time to get to the bottom of it all.
The abductors were talking about demanding a ransom but got scared!
Hmmmmm? Just because people post here - that doesn't mean they are "FReepers". I wish people would figure that out.
Always a whiner in every thread.
It does to me. Am I not entitled to my opinion? I could be proven wrong, and I'll gladly accept that. But I said the Utah clown who's wife went missing seemed fishy & I was right.
The father of the boy is on Fox now. He IS very happy. I'm glad I was wrong thinking this son was a little odd. Thank God the girl is well.
Great news!
Thanks to dear God for this happy outcome !
Truly a miracle.....
It's the FAMILY who takes it to the media not who the person abducted is. Fox News will let anyone on!
