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.

Yeah in Afghanistan.

Thanks...just read it. What a spoiled brat. She's looney.

"She has already been deemed unworthy by the fact that she's not received even ONE piece by family or friends."

I assumed the grandparents had already bought her an entire set (tradition and the word was out on the family grapevine) and that's why nothing was purchased on the registry.

Police whisked her from the plane with a towel over her head and took off in an APD squad car, along with an ambulance, to avoid the media that had gathered inside the terminal.

She was wearing the same clothes that she was wearing when she disappeared Tuesday night but her hair was significantly shorter.

An NBC producer was on the plane and was sitting directly behind Jennifer Wilbanks. With the help of a stewardess, Jennifer passed along this message saying she was exhausted, she had not slept for several days, she is anxious to see her fiancé.

She understands that she has to face the media and also the community who searched for her. She said she wants to do that but first she needs to clear her mind. Her earliest possible point that she expects to speak to anyone is Monday.

She said she wants to talk to other family members and she also explained she knew how important the day was to her family and friends.

Passengers on the same flight had their opinion.

“Oh, I think it’s a private matter. She obviously has a lot of fear about this next step in her life. I think she probably needs to deal with that,” said passenger Cheryl Duke.

“To me, I don’t know why she’s hiding. Don’t know that much about it. You make a mistake it would seem to be easier to walk out and talk about everything. Here’s what I did, I’m sorry I did it, I made a mistake, I am going to move on. Everyone’s following her around now. She’s eventually going to have to tell her story,” said passenger Mike Graziano.

She’s eventually going to have to tell her story,” said passenger Mike Graziano.

For the right price, that is.

How Charming, Hildy.

.wanna rethink that now?

Of course not. It's not odd that a person would know what happened to her own hair. It would be odd for anyone to not know what happened to her own hair. That hasn't changed.

John Mason has now confirmed to Fox News that Jennifer did buy her own bus ticket on April 19th using the name Wendy Mason for the transaction and also cut her own hair prior to her leaving the state.

She was wearing the same clothes that she was wearing when she disappeared Tuesday night but her hair was significantly shorter.

She left with blue jogging pants, told 911 that she she grey pants on and in the most recent pics she has black pants on. I suppose they could be dark blue, but that doesn't explain the GREY ones she said she had on.

I've been out of the loop most of the afternoon/evening. After reading through the first 2000 post to this thread I had an urge to watch Gone With The Wind again :)

But I'll think about that tomorrow! ;-)

Mr. HR and I had a very nice and well-done wedding that took lots of planning but I remember thinking the night before ''I don't care at this point if the caterer and florist fail to show, I'm jus-ready to be married to this man !

[Dolphy]

A couple of the LE guests said they had heard from Duluth LE that the bridezilla had done this twice before. That's why they called off the search and dismantled the search center. Her history was known to Duluth LEA.

So she is loopy but how does one explain the family and friends who repeatedly said she would never do such a thing? Some seem to think she should be charged, heck, I think the family (if all this is true about her history) is responsible for most of the wasted resources.

That whole article was hogwash--no way it was a spur of the moment thing....

My daughter and son-in-law got married in Lake Tahoe last April---

I got married there as well, reception at the CalNeva. Great place to get married, but it was cold as you know what! (January 1st.)
