[Road Warrior ‘04]

I'm getting married two weeks from today! When should I start planning my "cold feet" attack!

[spectre]

I'll bet she can sell her story to The Enquirer for about $150,000!

[cajungirl]

That is my pattern!! I love it, my children hate it. They like that simple stuff but I am a southerner and they grew up on the east coast.

[COUNTrecount]

The fiance said that she left everything, wallet, ring, etc. at home when she went out for her run.She needed money to get on the bus, for food, lodging, etc.She had to have pre-planned it, either alone or with someone.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Um, note to the Atlanta Journal: that's known as, "praying."

Yeah. The "p" word.

[Quilla]

What a great idea! Just think of the sentiment involved in a necklace 18 years in the making.

[Cboldt]

A NYPD detective on a while ago says he suspects a "third party" being involved also. I do too, whether it's the fiance, another boyfriend or one of her other friends. Hard to believe nobody suspected anything either.

That would be one explanation of why the fiance wasn't as distraught as her parents. He may have known she was okay.

Some detective just E-mailed into FNC , said Greyhound DOES NOT STOP in Deluth, closest stop is in Gainesville!!

That's a he!! of a run!
;-)

[Types_with_Fist]

Greyhound.

[beyond the sea]

Police report: cold feet, not kidnapped.

I wonder if the dear little girl's feet will EVER warm up now!

I felt this was absurd. Abduct a healthy maraton athlete, cut her hair, take her across the country, then LET HER GO because of too much media attention! Yeh Right!!!

[ninenot]

Yup. Cops occasionally, ah, re-arrange interviews.

See this story (today's newspaper):

Follows on another story, about a year old, were a man convicted of rape was set free after it was discovered that the local sheriff ignored ALL the evidence that the crime was committed by another person.

There's now a movement to require videotaping ALL police interrogations.

Who do you think masterminded the 600 invitation and 30+ participants?

Sounds like the Wedding from Hell?

I think the wedding was hijacked by both mothers and she finally said 'Screw it' and left?

[kjam22]

How much planning does it take to go to vegas in running clothes, without money, or credit cards? :)

[joesbucks]

Was watching something last night with Nancy Grace and the Father of the Bride. Maybe they ought to fill it with them again.

[clarissaexplainsitall]

Someday, they will likely be arguing over it!!!!! They will regret their simple patterns one day.

[cajungirl]

One of my sisters ran off three days before the wedding. She came home the day of the wedding and has now been married fifty years, three children and 14 grandchildren.

its called public transporation, taxi cabs.

[mabelkitty]

Start early. Remember, you can't leave more than one week before.

Don't make the same mistakes Jennifer made - do not leave hair, clothes, and scissors in plain site. Try to get reversible clothes, if you can, and just buy a wig.

Oh, and don't do Vegas - been done already. Go to Niagara Falls - casinos and wild water.

[mystery-ak]

maybe she was cashing checks from people who couldn't attend the wedding and sent money gifts....
