Wilbanks Enters Treatment Program
WXIA-TV/DT Atlanta ^ | 5.10.05 | Ian Stinson

Jennifer Wilbanks, the runaway bride whose disappearance triggered a nationwide search, has entered a voluntary medical treatment program.

According to a statement from the family's church, "Ms. Wilbanks entered a highly regarded, inpatient treatment program on her own volition to address physical and mental issues which, she believes, played a major role in her 'running from herself' as she described in a public statement last week."

Wilbanks entered the program late Monday. The location of the program and suggested duration of treatment was not disclosed.

Wilbanks was already undergoing professional treatment. On May 5, the pastor for the Wilbanks family, Dr. Tom Smiley, read a statement from Jennifer Wilbanks. In the statement, Wilbanks said she, "started professional treatment voluntarily," for the problems that led her to run away.

Dr. Smiley said the treatment was "professional therapy with certified, competent professionals." Smiley did not go into details about the treatment.

Wilbanks, 32, touched off an extensive search in April when she disappeared after leaving her Duluth, Ga., home for a jog just four days before her scheduled wedding.

Wilbanks turned up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She told police she had been abducted, but she later told authorities she took a bus to Las Vegas and then Albuquerque on her own.

OK, I'm going to be as delicate as I can here...
In her fantasy, she evidently believes that she would be skilled enough at....Ya know....to bring the female kidnapper to....a finish.

Oh, I read every word! LOL!
Just thinking she exudes....confidence. Or has had practice. Or, if as suspected, this is a description of consensual activities in What Happens in Vegas, maybe even naturally gifted.

Apparently, the only reading material available on the bus was a Penthouse magazine.

Dear Penthouse Forum:

I know no one reading this will believe it, but I swear it's the truth. Just before my wedding, I was jogging and thinking of the adventure I could have if I rode a bus to Las Vegas. I mean, you meet some of the most interesting people on Greyhound. I noticed a handsome Hispanic man with a lovely female companion eying me on the bus. Well, you have no idea what happened next....

well the theories were fear of sex, fear of no sex, or fear that sex would be found out, or fear of heterosex now that she discovered sappho sex.
