She ran, she was NOT abducted

Yep.I was going to throw in "unattractive white people" but I thought that was crass. (Actually, I was going to say "ugly" so I left that catagory out. Had I thought of a less charged word at the time it would have gone in.)
I don't know about fraud, but she called 911 and said she was kidnapped. She lied to police when she was picked up and after several hours of interrogation, she confessed. That is a crime and she should be charged.
I don't think its a conpiracy or a theory, I think its a formula that they use that is a generally accepted media standard. I also think we all believe now that its fact not just a theory.
I totally agree with you on the "Fox News Alert" thing. Nice gimmick when it started, now it's obnoxious like the boy who cried wolf. Fox should time limit their "alerts" to maybe 8 hours from when the original story actually broke instead of the 48 that they use now. ;)
When it is a child/minor it is different, and I am all for doing whatever necessary to keep that news in front of the public.
But sometimes, with adults, people just want to be missing. I think such disappearances need to be kept out of the national news focus. We have seen many times that adults plan their own "missing person" stories. I feel very sorry for her family and the anguish they have suffered for the past four days. I imagine if my adult daughter would turn up missing, I know I would want all the help and attention to find her. But that is a two-edged sword. Once the world is invited into your personal life, you loose control. Now, in addition to what was their fright, turned to relief, they have the additional burden of national embarassment.
I don't think this girl was "sick" in a major mental sense. Apparently she has great skill in planning: first a huge wedding, then a "get away," with no trail, and obviously enough awareness to cut her hair, have enough cash, etc. Quite an accomplishment, in essence.
But, this all shows something very reveling. With this girl it was all about "her." Her wishes, her wedding, her happiness, and her fears. It seems there is little consideration in her life - true consideration,not surface "goodie-goodie" type - for others. When you truly have concern about others, you don't put your own fears first. You talk, you explain, and you consider options. You do not make people suffer because of your problems and insecurities. Sure, she had pressures about the big wedding. In the scope of problems faced in this world, is that an excuse for what she did? Poor child, the world was revolving around her and she could not cope? What would she have done with a real tragedy in her life? The type that she caused her family.
However, the bottom line is: You just do not lie. Obviousily the basis of all of this is a lie - her feelings were not true, her heart was not in this marriage. No one who loves deeply can hurt others in this way. I don't think it was/is sickness, just an inability to be truthful. That is the root of all evil or selfish actions, IMHO
Why give her "some slack". She had been living with the guy for some time. She should have known what she was getting into. She's 32 years old! No spring chicken getting married. I think she should get a court imposed mental check.
When did that happen?
What a bitch. I hope her finance dumps all of her stuff out of their apartment unto the street. Imagine making your finance the top suspect in your disappearance for a solid week. Man, that's true love.
And her fiance was quickly becoming the top suspect.
Bull. Mind your own business unless someone asks you to become a moderator.
I hardly even look up anymore.
People make WAY too much ado about their weddings these days. My wife and I got married in 1992 (13 years ago tomorrow), paid for it ourselves, and did it all for about $3000. We had to; we were dirt poor. We kept it simple, low-key, inexpensive (of course, we didn't have to pay for a church or a preacher).
Thirteen years later you don't remember the flowers or the hors d'ouvres or how many guests there were; you remember the love you have for your spouse and the excitement at beginning an eternal journey together.

We've only just begun to live...
Just hop on the bus, Gus
Make a new plan, Stan.
Just drop off the key, Lee
And set yourself free.
From your profile page. I think you're a 'holier-than-thou' type. In other words, a hyprocrite.
See my response to the LowOiL at #235.
Thin, but still quite doable, IMO.
That ones got the crazy look. Better for her fiance if he called it off ASAP.
My wife and I were married in 1992. We spent exactly $100 on the wedding, although our mothers made the refreshments. The ceremony lasted nine minutes and we had no bridesmaids or groomsmen. And, yes, we were married in a church in front of our families and closest friends.
A friend of mine had a huge, expensive wedding a couple of months later. Her mother offered to give her $20,000 to have a small, simple wedding. She chose the former. She has often told me that as they walked out of the church, she was already saying, "I should have taken the money".
...oooops.
