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.
Excerpt - story follows:CNN
Her eyelids are slightly retracted and she is thin.
Other than that I have no excuse for her if she just went off, and put her family through that, and wasn't abducted.
I think this woman, if she were in her right mind, would not be the type to make up such a story.
So, for the moment, I'm leaning that the weird story may be true, as weird stuff does happen, because there are weird people in the world.
I just typed the same thing!
Wow 14 bridesmaids!
Guy on MSNBC says that she either was watched and kidnapped or they saw her as a victim of opportunity.
cold feet ? impossible. do that to her very loving family ?
I must go deliver some beautiful plants now for a wedding today here in my city..... how fine and appropriate this day ................ so thanks for starting this very happy thread tonight!
19 people boarded airlines and crashed them into skyscrapers. Unreal? Do you know where the thousands of abducted persons are right now? Their families are waiting.
Good morning ping!
Simply amazing.
Yes, I really wonder WHY anyone cut her hair.
Her eyelids are slightly retracted, and she is thin. When the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid, it can make you nuts.
People with hyperthyroidism used to be put in insane assylums in the old, old days. Now it can be successfully treated if caught before it causes a heart attack.
I'm a physician is why I notice these things.
"I was wondering the same with the hyperthyroid thing...because her eyes look bugged out in the pics I guess."
The enlargement of the eyes is a classic symptom of Graves disease, not necessarily hyperthyroidism. She girl was/is a runner. Muscular weakness , both upper and lower extremities, is a classic sign of hyperthyroidism. Probably just normal for her. Pics also show a full, thick head of hair...not normal for those with hyperthyroidism.
This is a great night, but I gotta deliver some plants now ..... to a wedding here in my city today!
Spoken like someone who's never had cold feet! :-)
it didn't involve jogging, but another story didn't turn out well in Rockland County, NY Thursday or Friday. A young mother of two was raped and murdered by a painter doing a job at her house. The rest of the crew went to lunch, one, a Guatamalan, stayed behind. So sad. Not safe at all these days.
Can't have a thread without it, you know!
I just knew that Jennifer was dead. After all the other things that have been happening I didn't think there was anyway that she would be found alive.
Could well have been, as you suspect, some planning involved.
But sometimes criminal planning has a Marx brothers aspect to it. Not everyone is Ted Bundy.
I am SO glad this is having a happy ending.
Abduction isn't all that weird, lots of missing teenage girls out there, among the many others missing...
