I really think we need to give the poor jilted groom the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he was in on it. He probably did have suspicions which he may have even voiced to law enforcement, but with the possibility that she was killed or abducted, he would also want to do everything possible to find her. That would explain his casual attitude in interviews. He didn't know what happened, but when someone is missing, you want all the help you can get from law enforcement and the media.

This woman was horrible for putting the fiance and her family through this, and anyone else in the future that really is abducted.

Geez, I sure do hate drama queens.

Ex-father-in-law-to-be is an ex-mayor, now a judge in Norcross, I believe.

Her uncle is an ex-fire chief and may now be with Homeland Security in some capacity.

Pat Brown, criminal profiler, on FoxNews is not giving J any slack. Brown says the actions were criminal because of what they did to family, community, LE resources, etc.

Two-story love affair.

What's that? Stupid me.

I am betting they will marry.

I'm just grateful I never took a position or made a bet in this case.

I wake up at 2 am, she's been found alive, everyone's thrilled, it's a big party when I fall back asleep.

Wake up at 5 and the party's over...

We're probably closer to sisters in that regard than we think. I have three sisters who also picked out silver patterns when they were young. Once they married, they did not take their silver - something I've never understood. My mother also acquired four complete sets of china, one for each of us. They declined those as well.

After my father died, I build a suite for my mother and she lives basically next door. I have it all - all the silver, crystal, china, silver serving pieces - the most beautiful things I've ever seen. My dining room table is formally set right now awaiting Sunday dinner. I can only hope that my children appreciate it and will one day take and cherish these heirlooms as I do.

Have you noticed the women are talking about silver, bridesmaids, etec. and the male freepers are posting maps and bus schedules?

The sexes are different aren't they?

Two-story love affair refers to a troubled marriage.

I am betting they will marry. And live happily ever after with the occasional haircut and quick trip by her to parts unknown.

ROFL!

I can't say I blame him!!! He seemed truly jubilant earlier when she was found alive and claiming she had been abducted.
