[ Thats the only logical explanation I can come up with in this bizarre case........]

Sleep deprivation. The article says she drove over 1000 miles prior to the incident.

Could be her circadian ryhtyms are whacked.

Try staying awake 4 or more days straight. Things start getting a little strange.

Or;

She passed through the Van Fugly belt.

Stuck her face out the window on reentry.

In space, no one can hear you turn into a psycho hosebeast.

If it took her four days to drive 1000 miles things would be strange.

You can put down 1000 mile in 14 hours or less

Then why did she pack the plastic bags, steel mallet, knife, tubes, BB-gun, and mace? You can explain her setting out randomly if she went briefly crazy, but stocking her car with all of those items for a 1000 mile road trip indicates that she planned it. I'm not entirely sure if this was just an attempted kidnapping. I suppose we will learn in the next several months whether she planned to kill or maim the other woman.

I did the 48 hours thing once. Yes, it does get strange.

Been there, done that. At some point, the micronaps kick in. Been caught sleeping standing up three times, too.

I really try to avoid that kind of sleep deprivation any more.

As long as you can keep in mind that the perceptional differences are the result of the sleep deprivation and compensate you are OK, but that gets harder as the run goes on.

No wonder the meth heads are whacked, they are fighting the drug and the sleep deprivation.

She just looks completely hailed out.
