She had at least two full days in Vegas. I wonder what the heck she did while she was there.

EXCERPT

A few hours later the story changed, Schultz said: Wilbanks acknowledged that on Tuesday, under stress from her impending wedding, she had taken a bus from Georgia to Las Vegas, Nev., spent some time there and then taken a bus to Albuquerque, where she arrived sometime Friday afternoon or evening.

"She said she was scared and needed some time alone," Schultz said.

Schultz said he didn't know why she chose to come to Albuquerque and that she had no known personal connections with the city.

Wilbanks had been missing since Tuesday, when her fiance reported that she went for her nightly run and didn't come home. She apparently decided shortly after purportedly leaving for her jog that she was going to run away, said Bill Elwell, an FBI spokesman in Albuquerque.

"Based on the information we received, it was a spur of the moment situation," Elwell said.

He said Wilbanks told investigators she had at least $140 on her when she left Georgia on Tuesday night.

From Duluth, she took a taxi to the Greyhound bus station at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and then hopped a bus to Las Vegas, Elwell said. She did not get off the bus during the lengthy route, which took her through several major cities, Elwell said.

"I think she had sufficient money at least to travel," Elwell said. "She may have borrowed more money, but I'm not sure." Wilbanks had no money on her when she was found.

"She had apparently run out of funds when she came to Albuquerque," Elwell said. He added that that is likely why she called home when she did.

Wilbanks was sequestered with victims assistance counselors in Albuquerque this morning and was not available for comment.
