She allowed that search for her abductor to go on for days. Although Jennifer lied, she quickly retracted her statement. If as you say her statements were criminal based on laws on the books, then she should indeed be charged. I really don't think that Jennifer realized what her actions was going to cause and I certainly don't think she wanted this publicity. I know that can be debated. That's why I think that her family should quietly volunteer to help pay for the costs. They apparently have the money and it would be the right thing for them to do. And Jennifer needs help. I hope she gets it where she's going.

I think this is assumtion a lot of people have made without any evidence it is true.The $43,000 Duluth estimated it spent would be a dent in anyones pocket especially a middle class family like she appears to come from.I also find it interesting that all the Libertarians and rugged individualist on FR think the parents should make restitution for a 30 year old daughter who has obviously been on her on for 7 or 8 years.
