ATLANTA (CNN) -- Jennifer Wilbanks, a Georgia woman missing since Tuesday night, has been found alive and well in New Mexico, a friend of the family told CNN.
Wilbanks was located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and told her family she had been abducted and taken there, according to John Kim, a friend of Wilbank's family.

Knock it off.
I don't believe it either, it would have been much easier to kill and bury her in Mexico if they were scared. Now they run the risk of her being able to identify them.
Nothing on Drudge yet; it being a one man operation, the Mattster is probably asleep and will pounce on it in a few hours.
It's interesting when you wake up and see a big story breaking. I remember staying at my Dad's house on Cape
Cod the weekend Saddam was caught (my Dad is in his 80s
and retired--and a big liberal). "Well, I guess the Democrats won't win the election now," he predicted.
"Yeah," I muttered (smiling on the inside--he doesn't
know I'm conservative!)
And of course on that perfect late fall day in 2001
when I awoke around 9 am (I work a night job) and put my clock radio on Boston sports station WEEI, expecting to
hear talk about the Red Sox and Yankees. "We're going back to ABC News now for more on the World Trade Center, which has been hit by an airplane..." I went to my TV (the cable was out due to buffoons in my city hitting the line when
they were digging up my sidewalk, so I had to rely on
broadcast coverage--later in the day, it did come back.
I still remember eating at a pizza place and glancing at my Boston Herald (as well as the TV which had the 9/11
coverage on). The big story in the paper was, will Michael Jordan make a comeback? And I thought, the world has changed so greatly in the past few hours. It's like the
morning paper was from an era so long ago.
but I digress
Yeah Jennifer's Mom is talking about how she just got to talk to Jennifer briefly on the phone. She told her Mom that she was being taken to hospital and that she just wanted to come home.
True, and in fact I wouldn't have been surprised had that been the case.
But it was so bizarre reading comment after comment from Freepers saying "she's dead," (with no proof,) or "I can see evil in men's eyes, and the fiance did it."
I just don't get why Freepers state things so definitively with no proof!
See ya',

Jenneifer must be scared to death! I can't imagine what the entire family has been through!
My comments were about how some freepers (people who have signed up in the last 2 months to a year ago.) that swore up and down that her fiancee had something to do with it because of how his eyes looked during his interviews.
>>on that perfect late fall day in 2001
meaning the weather--the same sentiments were expressed in Dick Morris FahrenHYPE 9/11, about how lovely a day it was weather-wise...and then 9/11 happened...
True...really good point!

Give Drudge a news tip. I just looked at his site myself.
you are the one who is being a pain, imo
If seems incredible that they "got scared and let her go", but if they were headed for the border, the publicity may have made them worry that they wouldn't be able to get across with her.
So, abductors have probably gotten across the border by now.

I know that they kept saying she was alive but did they really believe that? The relief must be almost overwhelming.
I agree, the day of 9/11 all the previous news ramblings seemed outdated and unimportant.
I already did the minute fox came on
Illegal male ? Escaping to Mexico to make her a white slave ?
Alberquerque is about 200 miles away from the border.
But you get the gold star for being the first on FR trying to smear all hispanics due to this tragic and bizarre situation, which has a very happy ending.
Her mom said that she was beginning to get really scared. You know it had to enter their minds they would not see her again.
