failing to report that she had NOT been kidnapped!

Are you telling me I don't have a right to go off where I please? Sure, a lot of folks spent a lot of time and money looking for her, but that was none of her doing.

I fear the day when I am required to report to the Government if someone says I'm missing. As long as there is no fraud involved, I can leave town without saying a word to anyone.

I am telling you that if you take off and police departments are not alerted that you are safe.
I mean it was on all the news around the world
Not like she didn't know people were looking for her!

THE BIMBO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS INCURRED BY THE POLICE!

Let us all know when you catch up! LMAO

Granted, everyone freaked out and the police launched a massive search over this. The ONLY reason - and I mean THE ONLY reason the media picked up on it was because the woman was so close to her wedding day. That was the hook. That was the element that the media knew would tear at the heartstrings of the average American viewer.

Yes, the police should not have made a big thing out of this - the media was a BIG player in growing this story to national proportions. THe woman DOES have a right to go off to think about the biggest decision a person will make in their lives. However, she should have been adult enough to cll in the moment she say herself on TV or in the papers if only to say "Hey - I'm OK, I just need to think. You can call off the search, I'll be home in a day or two."

That's all she needed to do and this thing would never have gotten the legs it did.

I believe that in most states it is a criminal offense ("disorderly conduct" or somesuch) for a person to deliberately act in a way which will get the police needlessly involved in something that would otherwise not be a criminal matter. Merely deciding to go someplace without telling anyone, when you're not particularly expected to be anyplace else, does not qualify. But to go off someplace when hundreds of people are expecting you to be at a particular place at a particular time, and then to ignore for days the widespread reports of a massive search, probably does.
