I heard it when unloading the sacks from grocery store, and couldn't understand her cry-talking---but she sure went on and on and on---

I am sure she wants privacy---puhleeeeeeze---she owes us an interview, dang it---LOL

Seriesly, I hope (for once) that these persistent reporters get some more scoops--since no one was physically hurt, I'd like the soap opera to go on for a couple more days!!

Yeah, normal rational adults always cut their hair during a jog while creating mass hysteria just to "get time alone"

Besides that, she went to Las Vegas to be 'alone'? After that she went to New Mexico.

I do think that they need to press some sort of charges. There needs to be a message sent to others that this won't be tolerated. It wastes money and time that could be spent on those that are truly abducted.

Whatever happened with that college girl from one of the northern states that faked her abduction and was caught on video tape at a hardware store buying duct tape etc.?

THey may as well have the reception. All that money they've paid for deposits, food and venue is nonrefundable at this point.

>>I could not beleive the blase way that he said, if she was dead, that would be great because she would be in heaven...

>My experience is that that is quite typical fundalmentalist-speak.

Agreed. It's similar to early Christians who welcomed death as a means of being closer to God, and demonstrating that they were not tied to this earthly existence--i.e., unreserved faith.

...""Hispanic man..in his 40's..medium build..maroon jacket..white t-shirt. blue jeans...blue mini-van..working van like a painter's van..."
There is a pattern of behavior being revealed here that appears sociopathic. How is it that pre-marital counseling, at a Baptist church no less, did not reveal the fact that this woman is a pathological liar.

Indeed - this woman is poison, a little nuts, and not in touch with reality. It is unfortunate that the families apparently get along so well - not always the case. The fiancee needs to get away from her at any cost. This is just the start of the theatrics that he will endure if married to her.

The police need to send her the bill for all of the man hours, equipment usage, overtime...etc. Hell, I get billed $150 each time a cop drives past my business when the alarm goes off (false alarm charge).

I'm surprised someone who now recognizes her has not come forward to say they saw her in Vegas. Everything is under surveilance in the casinos. Shouldn't be too hard to verify if she was there or not.

Especially since she was wearing the same clothes, albiet, her hair was shorter. I believe the LV bus station is in the oldest part of town which may not have as much camera coverage. But it's a great place to loose yourself.

What a story, pass the popcorn please.

Any chance the runaway bride logged on as jsk10 and asked for prayers?

You never do know, do you?

So the police in Duluth now say she will not be charged with anything per Fox News.

I think there were charges involved. By the way, that girl looks like she could be Jennifer's little sister.

Well, I couldn't imagine her riding cross-country on the bus and I still can't imagine her staying in downtown Vegas. I see her wanting to stay on the strip somewhere like Bellagio.

having 600 people at your wedding is a sign of narcissism

I thought it was just my anti-capitalistic, hippie roots showing, but that was the way I felt too. Who needs the expense and drama? Aren't there other ways to spend the money?

Even if your parents are big deals in your little world and you use the wedding as a business function, have a big reception/party. The huge wedding service just seems out of place for what should be a religious function.

"Sure, we were all disappointed, maybe a little embarrassed, but you know what, if you remember all the interviews yesterday we were praying, 'At this point let her be a runaway bride,"' said the Rev. Alan Jones , who was to perform the wedding. "So God was faithful. Jennifer's alive and we're all thankful for that."

Okay, so uh..how is God being "faithful" for "allowing" her to be a runaway bride?

Sigh...fruitcake.

What has she been wearing for the past few days? She must have had something with her to keep herself groomed or she would look like a baglady by now. I doubt she was wandering around Las Vegas casinos in sweat clothes she'd had on for days. So many questions....
