Missing Bride to be wasn't abducted...got cold feet, made it up

[PhillyGirl]

Hello?

The husband HIRED A LAWYER AND HAD TO TAKE A POLYGRAPH TEST.

NOT speculation Wingspan.

Fact.

Authorities had searched for Wilbanks since Tuesday, when Mason first reported her missing to police. He had told them she went out for an evening jog near their home in Duluth, outside Atlanta, and never returned.

The search later turned into a criminal investigation. Mason hired a lawyer and passed a polygraph test.

And her family posted a $100,000 reward for her return or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.

Kids run away from home all the time.  And I'm not talking about little kids who don't understand the consequences but teenagers.  Their parents freak out and searches are conducted.  When it turns out that the kid was hiding out someplace for a few days should he/she be tried and sent to juvy or jail? 

Yes, what she did was totally farged up but not worthy of jail time.  However, she did make a false call to 911.  Should authorities decide to take legal action agianst her on that, I would be all for it. 

And her family posted a $100,000 reward for her return or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance

Since she turned herself in and was the responible party in her dissappearance, does that mean she gets the reward?

Jeez people, can't we be a little more sympathetic here???

I mean not one word about her poor father!

That sumbitch had to pay for a wedding with a guest list of 600 people and poof!  NOTHING!

[JTrotter Fan]

600 people at a wedding?  Are you kidding me?  The least she could've done was tell a bridesmaid that she was bolting or something.  Even if she had cold feet and was feeling trapped or whatever, she should have to pay for the man hours put in to search for her sorry butt.  She deserves some sort of punishment.

I don't think she shoudl end up in the clink, but I definitley think that she should be paying the state and local authorities back. Open up that big ass bank account and dish it out to the people who were out there searching for her.

And if I'm the husband....I NEVER walk down the aisle with her. Get as far away as you can, bro.

Many in Bride's Town Feel Betrayed by Hoax

Police said there would be no criminal charges, although more than 100 officers led a search that involved several hundred volunteers, including many wedding guests and members of the bridal party.

Apparently noclink, no fine.  It will be interesting to see if anyone sues her because of the hoax.

She'll claim "emotional distress" or some other horseshtein excuse and get off without so much as a slap on the wrist.

I'd toss her ass in the pokey, myself, though.  Stupid beyotch.

And in another article, one of the chief police people said that if they find out it was PREMEDITATED, then he will consider criminal charges.

There's clearly something 'missing' with her

Sure a shtein ain't her adams apple...it's a man, man!

Maybe we can hook her up with skin48, they seem perfect for each other.

From the Story PG linked:

Last year, a Wisconsin college student who faked her own abduction and turned up curled in a fetal position in a marsh was given three years' probation for obstructing police and was ordered to repay police at least $9,000 for their search.

There's your precedent.  Give her probatioin, force her to make restitution.  Jail time not warranted, IMO.

Hopefully the family and fiancee can get on with life, and if the girl needs psychological help, get it for her.

She should be forced to make a sex tape in her wedding dress with the guy she was going to marry, the best man, and the ushers. That'll teach her, and it'll pay for all the trouble she caused.

Who'd pay to see all those men having sex? Well, other than Jeff Garcia...
