So what do you all think about the missing bride, Jennifer Wilbanks thing? Here's my thoughts...

Last night I stayed up late to watch the rerun Greta VanSustran had on Fox News because I wasn't able to watch it live. She was supposed to be interviewing bridesmaids of Jennifers. About 2 AM, a Fox News Flash came on saying that Jennifer was alive and in New Mexico. She had called her fiance and told him she'd been abducted by a Hispanic man and a White woman. She said they had cut her hair and she didn't know where she was...she knew she wasn't in Duluth but didn't know where she was...she was calling from a pay phone. He talked to her on the phone until police got there to rescue Jennifer.

I was relieved that she was alive, but I thought, "There's something fishy going on here." and I wondered if the story was all made up. Sure enough, when I got up this morning I find that she was lying...she was not abducted...had gotten cold feet about the upcoming wedding and left.

Here's what I think and this is just my opinion, but I think she wanted attention. She knew she'd have her pictures on all the TV stations and it would make a big story. If she just had the wedding jitters, why didn't she tell them that when she called instead of making up a big story about being abducted. I truly think that she thought she could pull this off and get national attention and sympathy. I think it's terrible what she put her family and friends through, not to mention the resources used to search for her and the amount of money spent, the many people who took off time from work and whatnot to help search and volunteer their time. The police and FBI spent much time on her search, when there were other things that were most likely put on hold in order to search for her. I think it's terrible what she did and I think she should be prosecuted in some way.

So, what to you all think?
