Jennifer Wilbanks found alive!!!

Mike Hull said:
It was on the national segment of Fox news here in AZ at 6:15PM yesterday evening.
The poor guy was just standing there while they made these accusations in front of the camera, and tried him in the media. You could see the tears running down his face.

He knew he was about to be another victim of LE screwover.:barf:

I agree with you, I'm not one to sue anyone over anything either. But this? I'd sue everyone involved!!

The media was definitely trying to fit this guy with some cement shoes.
Every commentator was repeating the mantra "Won't take polygraph" until
this poor shmoe was starting to look guilty. I can imagine how that talk went
"We've stopped searching for jennifer but where do you think she went after
leaving her wallet and jewelry? And would you mind coming down to the
station? We've scheduled a polygraph for you, what's that? No you don't
have to bring an attorney this all just "routine" of course we don't think you
had anything to do with this "situation" we just want to clear up a few things
that's all. :eek:

Good suggestion. Maybe those Detectives would have loved to have handled things in that manner...........too bad the Media Circus interrupted an ongoing investigation.

And here's the ultimate in irony. You want to give these folks a big chunk of change for something THEY started in the first place? Guess who ends up footing the bill for legal defenses, judgements or a settlement in these types of Civil Suits? Sorry, I don't think they deserve one thin dime of my Taxdollars for this one.

Instead of prosecuting this woman for a mistake made under overwhelming circumstances (at least for her it was), maybe we should just send them the bill for the cost of the Local, State and Federal investigations involved..........let them cover the costs for this stunt instead of the Taxpayers for a change...........
 
I think that the guy should put the bone to her one last time, then kick her ass to the curb...:D.
 
he gets what he deserves.

If he smarts up, and says "so sad too bad", she gets what she deserves from that end.

They live in Duluth, GA. Small town central. You think that anybody there is going to forgive this flakey bizzle for runnin' out? Nawwwww, this is now permanent local lore.

The dude is going to get some serious proposals from some lonely women nationwide, and if he plays his cards right will get a book deal, and some fine poon to spend the cash on.

She should eat the cost for the whole deal, wedding costs, law enforcement costs, every cost.

Let me be patently clear, here, this woman is solely to blame, end of story. Not her family, not the fiancee, not the media and certainly not law enforcement. Her-she did this.

Best Regards,

Steven Garsson
 
Did anyone notice that the photos of this wacko always showed her looking wild eyed. I'd hate to see her when she was seriously ranked out about something.....seriously uuuugly.


She bears a strong resemblence to Marty Feldman. Wonder what 25 years is gonna look like.

That groom better cut her loose now. Think what she'll be like with change of life issues. Freeking wacko!

grooms care for horses... and marry women of very questionable sanity it seems.

with "that groom better cut her loose" I pictured a groom cutting (using only the sharpest of blades of course) a bucking mare who got her reins all caught up.

or maybe I was just thinking about horses what with everyone talking about her looks! :eek:

I'm amazed that none of the law enforcement agencies involved aren't going to press charges on her. :confused:

For WHAT? It may have been highly inconsiderate and irresponsible, BUT...

This is still America isn't it? What happened to freedom?

People have the freedom to move about as they choose. She has the freedom to leave town if she wants. (She ISN'T married.) There is no law that requires you to tell people where you're going. She didn't ask for anyone to make assumptions, or call out a search party, or to create a media circus.

She simply left town and didn't tell anybody, which, like it or not, everyone has the FREEDOM to do in America. ;)
 
No matter what his decision this is a no win situation for Mason as far as the public goes. If he marries her some will say he is noble and true. While others will say he is an idiot or a masochist. Whereas if he backs out some will say he is cruel or that he probably never really loved her. While others will say he made the right, and maybe only, decision that could be made. Whatever his decision I hope it is one with which he can live. After all it is his call. Boy I don't envy the guy. :(

That's why you marry for each other and not for those around you. Like it or not, all marriages are surrounded by judgemental outsiders. Sometimes those "outsiders" are right and sometimes they're wrong. In the end, only the couple should decide. If I were in his shoes, I couldn't care less what others thought of my ultimate decision. It's about a lifetime commitment. It's for each of them to decide.

I do agree with the others about her paying for the costs. That does sound like the best outcome. I have thought about the "right to travel" issue in this case, but I don't see it as an infringement on the freedom to travel. Reasonable people would expect a search, like the one in this case, where she merely represented that she was "going for a run" and disappeared for days. What would you expect to happen?

She lied to police and said she'd been abducted. *That* is a crime.

Jennifer Wilbanks could face a misdemeanor charge of false report of a crime or a felony charge of false statements. The misdemeanor carries a penalty of up to a year in jail; five years in prison is the maximum sentence for the felony.

She bought her bus ticket several days in advance, and had prior arrangements to get to the nearest Greyhound station - it doesn't stop in Duluth.

I think she should be held financially accountable for the trouble she caused, and criminally accountable for the lies she told.

And now she's walking around with a blanket on her head. She's a lying coward.

OK. I forgot about the false statement. That is a crime. I still feel sorry for her and so would a jury. With the media circus it's not surprising she was scared and paniced. Last night here in Denver, as you know, a woman hit a teenager with her car after the teenager was stuck by another car. The woman panicked and drove off, drove around for 15 minutes and then turned around and turned herself in. She came to her senses and so did Jennifer Wilbanks after a time. It happens and no jury is going to throw her in jail for 6 years.

So? What does that have to do with anything. It's still legal to purchase a bus ticket in advance last time I checked. Just because she planned to leave doesn't mean she's LEGALLY obligated to tell anyone where she was going. Morally, maybe, but she's free to be a b***h if she wants to.

Ha. She didn't call the posse. In Colorado when a rock climber or hiker does something stupid that requires them to have to be rescued they're required to pay for the cost of the rescue. It's posted. That doesn't count for leaving your fiancé and getting on a bus.

If they want to charge the fiancé's family for starting a nation-wide manhunt, go ahead.

Such compassion. :rolleyes:

This whole story is such sensationalistic, emotional, national-uproar B.S. that really shouldn't be anybody's business and wouldn't even be on the map if it weren't the flavor-of-the-week media darling.

If she wasn't a Bride to be...
If it wasn't for Scott Peterson...
If the media could cover more than one story a week...

People go missing every day in this country. When they turn up in a strip club in Vegas because they were a teenage runaway their parents are just glad to see them.

Hanging on the wall at your Post Office is a clipboard with a 2" thick stack of photos of missing people. Where's their media blitz?

Got that right !


Kills me. . . .she knew that a very large man hunt ( not that she's a man :D ) was taking place. But, she let it go on and added insult to injury by calling the cops and telling them that she had been snatched. :rolleyes: Can we spell. . . .moron ?


If people knew what this little ordeal, that she perpetrated, will cost. . . .we'd all be shocked !


To quote Jesse James (the motorscooter dude). . . ."Pay Up Sucka !" :D
 
I think that the 100,000 dollar "reward" her parents had offered should be used to pay for the cost of the search, A family member of mine does payroll for our county, I hate to think how much money the taxpayers of that area just paid out in LE overtime and other cost for this stupid woman.
 
She's in trouble, because she had the police wasting a lot of man hours looking for her.
 
I can understand cold feet, but what she did was just plain childish! She just made a stressful situation worse. I think because her fiances father was a mayor, both fathers are wealthy etc etc etc, this will be swept under the rug. The fiance probably has some girlfriends on the side anyway, why would he care that his wife to be is nuts?
 
I guess that she might be prosecuted for filing a false claim, maybe they could make it stick, but she didn't do that until the police already had found her. She admitted she was lying in like what, 20 minutes, so except for the media hype they would never prosecute.

As far as I know, you can disappear if you want to without it being a crime or being responsible for paying for a search. But if someone I cared about disappeared, I'd want the police to be all over it too, so its kind of a hard call. She shoulda just called her fiance and said I'm oughta here for a few days, but she's obviously troubled.

When I heard that she had been found and alleged kidnapping I was surprised; one look at that deer in the headlights and I thought she took a runner on her own. Turns out I was right.

I don't care who willingly disappears, but at least have the common courtesy to do it in a way that ensures someone else isn't going to take the rap for a murder that didn't take place.

Others have been convicted on less evidence, and the local LE were setting this guy up for the high drop. They so much as said so on national TV.

That's true love on her part, I tell ya!!:rolleyes::barf:
