Runaway Bride

If you've been watching the news lately you've without a doubt seen the story about the woman who went missing several days before her wedding, causing hundreds of people to go searching for her and most presuming she was dead until it turned out she just ran away.

She was found in New Mexico and told the police and FBI that she had been kidnapped. Soon after she admitted she had just gotten cold feet and took off. They are now considering charging her with false reporting and/or making her pay an estimated $100,000 for the search.

While the charges might just stick, I think that the fine is dubious at best. The search was called off before she was even found, and she didn't commit any crimes until she lied to the police. If she had been found and said she had just taken some time off and not made up any stories, she would definitely avoid ALL penalties. Just my opinion on the subject, personally, I think either she's nuts or her fiance is a real asshole.
