This in no way implies malfeasance on the part of Major Metzger. Fox News is simply reporting that the method of investigating is abnormal. Considering this is a potential civil case for Kyrgyzstan, it is most likely being filtered through the State Department. If in fact she committed a fraud against the Government, the UCMJ would cover it all and the State Department would not be involved. The simple fact that they are implies circumstantial truth to her statements.
Fox has reported that she failed a polygraph, the video is here.

Take a deep breath and read the Fox story and see if you can get a clearer picture of what is being investigated.
"Federal law enforcement officials told FOX News that Metzger's disappearance is being investigated by the FBI, and the center of the investigation appears to be the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria. "This doesn't add up," said one federal law enforcement source who confirmed that the investigation was taking place."
You are dishonestly rewriting the article, below is the actual context of the agents quote.
"She apparently told Kyrgyz police she had been abducted by three young men and a woman in a minibus and held in a rural area about 30 miles from the capital.
This doesn't add up," said one federal law enforcement source who confirmed that the investigation was taking place."
