WASHINGTON — The investigation into the case of a U.S. servicewoman who reappeared as mysteriously as she vanished will continue, a senior defense official said Tuesday, adding that something about her story didn't add up.
Air Force Maj. Jill Metzger, 33, vanished from a shopping mall in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Sept. 5. She resurfaced three days later when she knocked on the door of a house in Kant, about 22 outside Bishkek, and claimed she had been kidnapped.
Kyrgyz police said Monday that Metzger, who was serving a tour at the U.S. military base in Manas, gave confused accounts about her absence and refused to make further statements after consulting with the U.S. Embassy.
Metzger was flown out of Kyrgyzstan within a few hours of her reappearance and was admitted Sunday to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. She was listed in good condition; officials had previously said she did not appear to have suffered serious injury during her disappearance.
The military said Metzger would be debriefed by a team of specialists and receive a medical checkup, but there was no immediate word on how long she would remain hospitalized.

Someone probably did slip her a mickey. Good post.
What is a woman doing over there anyway? If the feminists want women over there, why not send Hillary? If they kidnapped her, she'd be returned soon enough.
I think so.
I'm sure the food is better than in the Mall food courts around here.
This is beginning to sound like a copy of that fiance Georgia gal who staged her own disappearance days before the wedding.
I can't remember her name, but can remember her Nancy Pelosi eyes.
My apology to you. I posted, then read the thread.
The "senior defense official" should keep his mouth shut.
...but, her story doesn't add up.
As a graduate of the AF Academy, I can only say you are dead wrong.
That's just foolish.
You haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
She probably didn't. She a personnel type...probably on a PERSCO team...counting heads and reporting up channel for accountability.
KC-10 or KC-135?
I doubt she found a boyfriend or hooked up with the enemy.
My guess is that she felt she needed a break (maybe a bad combination of war, her recent marriage and a stressful time of the month for her) and she just wanted to be alone for a few days.
But now she feels stupid and realizes that Air Force Majors, even female ones, aren't suppossed to go AWOL whenever they get stressed out and she felt she had to concoct a story in order to rejoin the U.S. forces.
This sort of story, has a familiar ring to it....I think it has happened before...something called the morning-after, or maybe cold-feet, or what hell, am I doing here?....the question is; who was the other "person"?
