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
OMG...they wanted her to have a case of cold feet....they got it!! I can't do this...tsk, tsk.
sw
CNN reported a few minutes ago that a *family member* said the wedding is still on and will be bigger and better than ever...still waiting for confirmation here.....
LOL! No doubt.
This is making my day, I swear. Call me petty, but I love the look in her eyes!
LOLOLROTL, so that explains my small feet.
Maybe she decided he was too CREEPY to marry. :o)
I told my hubby when he got out of the shower this morning and he said this story had kept him awake last nite what with fretting.
We just married two daughters in two years and a dear friend of our youngest is getting married next month. He took this hard, thinking of our kids.
Now he is very sympathetic to her,,he says if he were her Dad he would be so grateful she was alive.
As a Mother, all I can think of is returning gifts, consoling bridesmaids, dealing with caterers not to mention the in laws.
I am betting the wedding is on. Just a hunch.
I wonder how much difference the media jumping on this affected the resources used in the case.
Doesn't this happen on occasion with relatively little fuss? Part of me thinks she should be held accountable, but then I can't help but think she really didn't do anything terrible or malicious. Aren't you allowed to just disappear for a few days without checking in? Is getting cold feet and running away something you should pay hundreds of thousands in fines for?
He marries her he's crazier than she is.
That was one very lucky guy...he almost married this loon.
you could be right....
When I first heard this story, it was an "audio" of him on the phone with someone on MSBNC - I thought - this guy sounds like he's lying somehow.
When the anchor asked him to describe his fiance - what is she like - he sounded like he was stumped and came up with some inane comments...
I was just listening to the tv, not watching it, and it made me look up because it just sounded strange to me.
Who knows, maybe he knew she was having 2nd thoughts....maybe he knew she took off.... nothing would surprise me.
Well, as a strong woman, she finds it hard to fathom how another woman could do something like that, cause so many so much pain..
This is sweeps month, isn't it? I don't think this outcome will cost them a dime.
Sure he will, then when he does a Scott Peterson on her, nobody will suspect him. < /sarc>
Switched over to CNN when FOX lost their audio feed during the presser. Caught all of the CNN chick's tantrum.
She could have at any time, told everyone the wedding was off and she needed a little vacation. She choose to stage a kidnapping instead. She knew what she was doing, and at anytime after the kidnap story got "big" she could have stopped it, by a simple call home.
She not only hurt herself, but she also hurt all the people in the future, that are going to be abducted. Now the news media will ignore them.
She is SELFISH
How did she get money for a bus ticket? CNN said she left the house with no purse, credit cards, etc.

I used to be in that business. I would KILL her if she did this to me!
Family press conference.
I think the correct Southernism for this situation is,
"Bless her heart, but there is %^&%% way I will %%%^^&&****"
