BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan - A U.S. Air Force officer who went missing earlier this week near the Kyrgyz capital was found alive and told police in the Central Asian nation she had been kidnapped, officials said Saturday.
Maj. Jill Metzger, 33, knocked on the door of a house in Kant, a town about 22 miles from the capital, Bishkek, shortly before midnight Friday and told its residents that she had been kidnapped, Kyrgyz Deputy Interior Minister Omurbek Suvanaliyev said.
Metzger, who disappeared while shopping for souvenirs in Bishkek on Tuesday, told Kyrgyz law enforcement agents she had been abducted by three young men and a woman in a minibus and held in a rural area about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Bishkek, Suvanaliyev told The Associated Press, citing local police in Kant.
She was exhausted and her hair had been dyed, he said.
Earlier, Metzger's father-in-law, Kelly Mayo, told The Associated Press in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations said she was found on the side of the road with her head shaven - and he also indicated she had been kidnapped and beaten.

Amazing isn't it? It would seem she didn't run away with some islamic lover like some have suggested afterall.
I bet they feel stupid right about now for running off at the mouth without waiting for the facts.
