Nice seeing you in the wee hours! ;-) I got up to get a drink of water at 2am and had the misfortune of checking FR - it's an hour later now, haha!

I awoke at 3:33AM [cue theme from 'Jaws'] and couldn't get back to sleep. And we ALL know what THAT means! May as well fix myself a cuppa and FReep.

"For now I am happy she is alive but I am open minded..."

I'm happy too, of course, but I still go with the 'something ain't right here'.

There are some people in the media who owe the fiance an apology. Greta VS, for one, and maybe Alan Colmes. I say maybe regarding Colmes because I got an impression that he was implying the fiance was guilty as he questioned somebody but I turned the TV off in disgust before confirming that impression.

Greta was smarmy a couple of nights ago as she said, in that gossipy tone, things like, Why would the fiance hesitate to take a lie detector test? She knew she was planting an idea into people's minds, but she wanted a juicy, gossipy story to "report."

You must have missed Gretta's love fest with the family live in the wee small hours of the AM. The husband to be thanked her for being one of the few in the media that stood up for him.

Given all the tragedy of late, it's great to see one have a happy ending

EVERYBODY knows that women can't be doctors. Too emotional, and their minds are built for recipes and cleaning, not saving lives.

Ah, that's where I fool them, I applied my cooking skills to my doctoring. Anyone who can follow a recipe can rule the world.

[Cincinnatus]

I do not believe this story for one second. Why should anyone?

[alnick]

Oh I see. Now that the media has smeared the fiance, it's time for the victim to get the Elizabeth Smart treatment.

Third: She looks insane.

What exactly does an "insane" person look like? This tidbit of knowledge could come in handy one day.

[uncitizen]

You must have missed Gretta's love fest with the family live in the wee small hours of the AM.

We should just be thankful it wasn't Geraldo. Jeesh. Can you imagine that???

[Balding_Eagle]

I do not believe this story for one second. Why should anyone?

Mrs. BE agrees with you. Why did she remove her ring and leave it at the house when she went jogging?

[alnick]

kinda odd how she has a quick answer for the "clump of hair" found.

What's odd about the woman knowing what happened to her own hair? It would be odd if she didn't.

[Types_with_Fist]

Well, the odd part for me is not that they cut her hair but if the hair found by police is hers... it was the first thing they did after they grabbed her.

Synthroid is not stable and is not approved by the FDA. I take Unithroid..what a difference on this than Synthroid!

[Quilla]

Call me gullible, but I believe it. Two freepers actually knew the couple and shared their insights with us. I am so thankful that Jennifer is safe and will be reunited with her family and her fiance. Many prayers have been answered this morning.

[tiredoflaundry]

This is great news!

[Koblenz]

something still smells fishy.

My thoughts exactly.

[Keith in Iowa]

Like Gretta or not - she & Geraldo both seem to have a way of connecting with people and they get them to really talk - Gretta got some really good stuff that you would not see anywhere else.

[jimboster]

Also, the kidnappers took the time to cut off some of her hair and remove her sweatpants and then conveniently leave them for the police to find. You wanna kidnap somebody, you grab 'em and get the hell out of there as quickly as possible and worry aout cutting hair later.

[Cincinnatus]

I'm sorry. This story does not pass the smell test. Can anyone think of a single reason why "abductors" would stop to cut off her hair and leave it where it could be conveniently found? My advice young man: call off the wedding. Now.
