‘Spur of the moment situation’

Wilbanks arrived at Albuquerque’s main airport Saturday afternoon for a flight back to Atlanta, her head covered with a striped blanket as about 10 police officers escorted her. She did not respond to reporters’ questions.

Marshall Katz, the airport police chief who escorted Wilbanks to her plane, said she was met aboard the aircraft by her stepfather and an uncle.

Arms out, big hugs, alligator tears,” he said, describing the reunion.

Katz said he gave her a foot-tall white teddy bear, which she clutched for support. She planned to name it, “Al from Albuquerque,” she told him.

I take it they hugged her while she still had the blanket on her head? I'd have loved to seen that.
