That falls under the “hysterical posts” column.
No, your original post to an article saying that original tip may have been a hoax was part of the hoax hysteria. ("Why, I'll latch on to anything at this point to make this just 'go away'")
And then when you followed that right up with your "fishy" comment just because the victim was no longer on the premises makes me wonder if you always think culprits & perps keep victims on site when they know law enforcement folks are on their way over.
