Try last year in Wisconsin.

That case was different. The perp herself persisted (for days) in an aassertion about an abductor. She sent the cops on a search, for days, for a phantom. That's what she got billed for. The Duluth Ditz didn't persist, and I bet the cops didn't spend much (if any) effort looking for the blue van.

That would be some justice. You'd think that this bimbo had heard about the Wisconsin bimbo a year ago. Oh well, someone has to make a legend of these idiots if it's ever going to stop.

That's pretty good. She left that message on the singer's machine even though she had been planning for days to run!

Oh, but the police gave her a white Teddy bear "to talk to". She took it on the plane with her.

What is she? 9 years old?

If she didn't know who she was how did she remember her boyfriends or parents phone number? It was stated she phoned them before police. She's an attention needy nutbag regardless

We stayed at the CalNeva. I love the old Sinatra History. Our suite was breathtaking, a wrap around terrace overlooking the Lake Tahoe. Plus, I loved the spa. It was all glass private on the water. We had such a good time. The gambling area wasn't very good, but we went to the other hotels for that.

I don't care, bill her for the waste of resources. This whole case is nonsense and a waste of time and money.

Maybe she did ditch the blue sweat pants, the ones LE found.

Apparently so. I get the feeling when she wants someone, particulary a male to do something for her she switches her tone of voice to baby talk.
