Wow, I hadn't heard that she made the whole thing up. Not only did she commit a crime by calling 911 with a false report, look what she did to her fiance, family and friends.
She's in a world of hurt now, and it's all her fault. All she had to do was either talk to her fiance, or her pastor about her concerns.
Who paid for the wedding? Who paid for the 14 bridesmaids dresses, and their excessories? Who paid to rent tuxes? My God, her parents won't be able to show their faces in town, judging by the reaction. I hope her fiance asks for the ring back, and is able to move on. He has been humiliated as well :(
She has known Mason for years, and been engaged for two, and they were shackin' up. And still she wasn't sure she wanted to marry him? Sounds to me like perhaps neither one of them is really ready to marry. I'd also flunk the pastor on his marriage counseling exam.
Kind of reminds you of the scene in "Blazing Saddles" in which the sheriff threatens to "murder himself," diverting attention from the fact it is, in fact, a suicide.
One of the problems is that she's created a potential "cry wolf" situation. The next time something like this happens to a gal, there's going to be one of these "hmmmmm wonder if she's just got cold feet" scenarios, and therefore the situation may not taken as seriously as it would have before this dim-bulb's actions.
Seems I heard that her daddy was the Mayor (or ex-) down there -- he may have some strings to pull!
Never said this idiot wasn't unselfish, and ill mannered...
You just can't prosecute that type of bad behavior.
The way she should have done it was just by simply calling off the wedding.
I think if she's charged anywhere it'll be New Mexico where she told the 911 operator she was kidnapped wouldn't she ?
GA DA's just pissin in the wind IMHO.....

Exactly. Going on a bus trip is not a crime even in GA. Hard to see how lying to the police in N.M. could be a crime in GA?
Certainly going on the trip and not telling anyone ended up costly for the local community, but what is the crime? Maybe the local community could sue her for the tort of fraud if she discared clothing and left some hair if any of that stuff they found was hers. But she did not report a crime so they jumped to the conclusion so I don't even see a criminal fraud.
If she planted the cuttings of her hair and the sweatsuit to make it look as if she'd been abducted, and if she left all her ID and her cell phone and engagement ring etc. behind deliberately (taking along only her pre-bought bus ticket and the key to the locker at the bus station holding a change of clothes and another wallet), then she ought to be judged guilty of falsifying a crime or something like that.
In a town the size of Duluth, the humiliation her family (including the one she will form if she marries now) suffered will be a part of the archives until three days after Judgment Day -- take it from one who has plenty of family in the South! That will be a better and more deserved punishment than anything the law can hand out. Imagine being her grand child and hearing everyone at the family reunions saying, "Oh, I remember her, that was the wild girl that staged her own kidnapping and got the whole town angry at her and cost her parents $200,000 etc. back in '05..."
If you disagree, sorry about that.
Why is nobody asking why it was she chose to do this?
totally agree with you
"may face charges"
'Ain't never gonna happen. I think I heard mommie and daddy are too well connected.
I guess because to me, it doesn't matter. Whatever problems you have, hurting others is not the way to handle them.
Sorry, nothing illegal or punishable about buying a ticket and getting on a bus.
Now, if she had of staged it to look at though she had been kidnapped, like leaving a ransom note, etc., then yes, punish her.
Wonder if the wedding cake had been ordered. They can keep the deposit, ya know.
It's not illegal to just disappear.
No it's not. But it should warrant a civil penalty for the county to recoup the money it spent looking for her for the taxpayers that got rooked by this spoiled brat.
