She may have been under duress at the time.
Now if she continues to make these kind of statements . . .
You know, I refrained from posting this a.m. on the threads, but said a silent prayer, and I continue to be thankful for a life spared, but I don't know. She smiled?
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she may indeed have been under duress and needed to throw a bone to get the heck out of there...but I'm keeping this one on a short leash. If she repeats any of that in the open, throw her to the sharks.
Since she has been released, she has been quoted as saying they treated her very well and never threatened her. So this statement must have been voluntary.
She will; for all intents and purposes, when she gets home she'll be a walking, talking sleeper cell.
