You are right. Sometimes people can make the best of a situation.

Isn't 3 days on a Greyhound punishment enough :)

That's a good point. I did a stint from L.A. to New York a few years back.

But alas, perhaps not...

"I surprised that there were over a hundred posts thanking God that she was alive and safe and got away from her abductors and all that. I read the article and it clearly stated she told the police she made up the story."

There is a huge difference in the initial posts around 2:00am and your post at 7:31am. Around 2:00am, it was being reported that she was the victim of an abduction. The article you're talking about did not yet exist.

Yes, they were involved previously.
So the media shines the bright light and the Feds determine that is the case they should be involved in?

LE never looked outside the immediate area for her, so at what point did the Feds decide they should get involved? Was it when they received a telephone call from the Judge?

per CNN: she called her family first and TOLD THEM WHERE SHE WAS. She had originally said, as reported, that she did NOT know where she was.

What you said --that was what I was missing when I was describing his weird reaction before he found out it was a hoax...

The "winner" part of his interview---how if she was dead that would be great because she would be a winner in heaven, but if alive she is also a winner and that would be great because she would be back here with me....

I posted his remarks paraphrased quite a bit, but forgot the winner word---

VERY ODD

Oh I'm not worried about the FBI being involved. If there's an FBI office with detectives on salary sitting in an office in a town where there's a major search going on, I'd rather see them helping than not.

What was the name of the church where the betroved received pre-marital counseling? I'll bet dollars to donut holes that it was a liberal church.

I got my donuts lined up.

Oops. Maybe you better define liberal church for me .. I got a feeling that it might be any that doesn't have a snake box. ;o)

We need to have our own *ping* list. We'll call it the "somethin' still ain't right" ping!

FOFL ... count me in.

Will this list be in addition to mhking's extensive "just damn" ping list?

I thought your comment was about sex crimes in particular.

I know people who go to that church. Ain't NO WAY they're liberal. In fact, I bet a lot of 'em are pretty mad about now.

Everyone assumed this was one. Most of the time, that's how these stories end. Pretty little kids, pretty women, anything with graphic sexual details. The thread we were on (gay rape) just happened to be more perverted than most, but it still had in common plenty of lewd detail for the voyeur.

I think she just wanted out and after all the hoop-la (8 bridal showers?????) this is all she could come up with. Obviously she is a dim-wit and didn't think it thru and realize this plan wasn't going to work.

It struck me odd that on national TV he would display such self-importance...

Actually, I just thought he offed her and was interested because a fellow FReeper claimed to work with her and asked us to pray for her.

Damn! We need to find that thread!! Who was that poster??
