This woman should be put in jail... and I can think of no reason why she shouldn't be. She terribly fucked with the lives of her loved ones, and community... and more than that, it's like she made a false call to the police there, only on a much, much large scale. I don't k now the exact word for what the charge would be. The fiance is the real victim here...




(CNN) -- A Georgia woman, who was found in New Mexico early Saturday and who said she had been abducted, admitted today she had made up the story because she was nervous about her upcoming wedding, police said.

Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, had told them she had taken a bus to Las Vegas, Nevada, and on Saturday had taken another bus to New Mexico.

Earlier, Wilbanks had told family members and police that she had been abducted by a man and a woman in a van. She was to be married Saturday.

"Agents and detectives learned Miss Wilbanks had become scared and concerned about her pending marriage and decided she needed some time alone," Schultz said.

Police in New Mexico said she will face no criminal charges, despite her false kidnapping story. When asked what would happen in Georgia, Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher told reporters: "No criminal charges."

Spokesman Mike Satterfield read a statement from the family.

"It has been determined that Jennifer has some issues the family was not aware of. We're looking forward to loving her and talking with her concerning these issues," Satterfield said. "There have been so many people who helped us through this and we want to thank all of them."

Abduction claim
Wilbanks called her fiance, John Mason, at his Duluth, Georgia, home from an Albuquerque pay phone at 1 a.m. EDT Saturday to say she had been freed by two strangers who abducted her Tuesday night, Mason said.

Within minutes, Albuquerque Police found Wilbanks at a 7-Eleven convenience store.

Wilbanks, who was to be married to Mason in Duluth, was last seen by her fiance Tuesday night, when she left the home she shares with him for a jog about 8:30 p.m.

Earlier, Pastor Alan Jones, who was to preside at the wedding said Wilbanks told him her abductors "came up behind her, cut her hair and put her in a blue van," Jones said.

Schultz said Wilbanks' hair has been cut.

Among the clues found during the search that followed her disappearance was a clump of hair along the route she was believed to have been jogging.

Family members are expected to fly to Albuquerque Saturday morning to be with her.

Disappearance drew national attention
News of Wilbanks' admission comes just hours after police in Georgia announced they would suspend their ground search for her, saying they've looked everywhere she may have been.

Her disappearance quickly drew national media attention, including talk show speculation sometimes comparing the story to that of Laci Peterson, the pregnant woman who disappeared from her Modesto, California, home on Christmas Eve, 2002. In that case, husband Scott Peterson was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

Wilbanks' fiance said he tried not to get upset about the media comparisons to the Peterson case since he knew her family had faith in him.

"I never worried that they were going to point their fingers at me," Mason said

Once again, looks like we have a dumbass on our hands.

That was great. Well I guess she must have been really freaked out about the wedding. I wonder if it had more to do with the size of the wedding or just the fact that she was getting married.

Looks like she watched too many Julia Roberts movies.

She should of least contacted her family to tell them what was up.

Crazy, Selfish, self-centered, annoying, bitch.

Every picture of her has her eyes bugged out. She's a looney.

she IS bugeyed.

wow. her hopefully-ex-fiance is lucky to get out before the wedding. if he goes ahead & marries her he'll deserve what else she does to him.

One would think that if you had to go to such great lengths to avoid your wedding, maybe you aren't quite ready to get married yet.

understatement of the year.

ditto...is there anyone who really thought she was "missing"?

ugh...idiots.

the fact that this shit is getting so much media coverage just boggles my mind.....it was on cnn today for about 4 hours, probably still going on right now....who gives a fuck?!?!....they act as if this is important "news", when it should be of absolutely no interest to anyone other than the people directly involved......we've learned nothing from terri!!

Turn it off. That's all you have to do.

this whole thing is kind of retarded. if she wanted to be alone for a few days why didn't she just say that instead of going through all of this jazz? it seems really stupid to me. think of everything that happened because she pulled this, people looking for her, the money spent, etc. it could have all been saved had she just done it a normal way. and it seems like the fiancee was cool with what she did so doing it the normal way wouldn't have been that big of a deal.

Imagine that, some crazy person coming to Vegas.

Her eyes really scare me. I agree, she should be punished for making the police look for her. If I was her family I would be super pissed off at her. Her fiancee is a lot more understanding then I would be. She's loopy, her soon-to-be husband should call this whole thing off.

I agree with those who posted about me, she should have just said that she wasn't ready instead of pulling this crap.

Cripes lady.

Let me just toss this one out there as devil's advocate.

Now, this was by no means an acceptable thing to do, but I'd say there's a PRETTY GOOD CHANCE that her parents are a little bit fucking crazy as well, and were applying a LOT of pressure on her. I mean, I don't care how rich you are, a BRIDE is not responsible for 600 wedding guests. That's the parents right there, and that is out of control. If my parents invited every person they've had any kind of social contact with in the past 10 years, they'd have difficulty coming up with 600 invites, much less 600 accepted invites.

This girl is obviously quite fucked up, but I bet her parents have made her that way over the past 32 years.

600 people is crazy. i'd be nervous just walking into a room with 600 people staring at me.

whatever tho. that woman should've at least let her husband know.

Are you implying that this girl's parents failed to properly prepare her for an acceptable male suitor and all the ceremony that goes with it? I think they totally failed to put any brains into her at all.

For the record, I think the woman has psychological issues brought on by thyrotoxicosis.

Have you seen her eyes? That is a classic symptom of Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder. I have seen patients that have become clinically insane due to an untreated hyperthyroid state. Before any punishment is dished out, she needs a full mental evaluation and physical.

Just my 2 cents. I see these people everyday and she fits the description perfectly.
