I'd like to see Hillary Rotten in this getup.

She was in NM... I wonder if she got some nice indian jewlery....

Sending cops on a wild goose whether for self or another person is still a wild goose chase!

Then every runaway is liable.

Sorry, no. Not offhand. I just typed "Kidnapping Hoax" and "Faked Kidnapping" into Google and got lots of hits. I was curious about your question as well.

Well, I had enjoyed a media blackout from around 4am PST to 3pm PST and just logged on to find out, I think, that the Runaway Bride has recanted the abduction story and looks like she just took off for a siesta.

Well, lucky for many pie-in-the-sky Freepers we aren't the type to say 'we told you so!'

But, "WE TOLD YOU SO!"

I'm glad she is alive but I'm glad I am right, too. The abduction story made no sense to anyone with an ounce of clarity of thought could see that! A lot of Freepers need a healthy dose of cynicism, sometimes! ;-)

It's the PREMEDITATION that is so cruel and mean.

[Howlin]

She had a blanket over her head! Not exactly the "veil" she is suppose to be wearing today.

How ironic.

[Netizen]

Thanks for your excellent post. I saved it for future reference.

"I'd like to see Hillary Rotten in this getup."

Plus, handcuffs!

[Carolinamom]

What an excellent observation on the irony and symbolism! She's marked for life.

"The fiance doesn't seem to have too high of an IQ---"

I will take odds that he learns something. $40 on the four and ten offset.

[maggief]

My thoughts too, Howlin.

Could be she's superstitious. After all, isn't it unlucky for the groom to see the bride before the wedding?

;-D

[beyond the sea]

.... and Dr. Phil ;-)

[pbear8]

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.

If she stays at the Bell then she has to go off-season to get the $119. lakefront deal that we got. Bad timing.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Fiance put out the "cold feet" excuse on the first day. Not exactly the first thing I would think of.

Unless he knew her pretty well, and had been willing to tolerate her idiosyncrasies. I've been there.

[theophilusscribe]

Glad to be of service. There are even more cases listed on Google. I just posted a couple.

[Carolinamom]

With a $140 bank roll, and 2 bus tickets to buy, where did she sleep?

[NautiNurse]

What is up with the teddy bear and blanky?????

The LEO give them to traumatized children. This woman fits that description.

[Netizen]

Not minors. What they should do is sheck her put with a shrink. If she is nuts, then no charges, if she is sane then charge her.
