Like I said, it's great that she is home and safe. However, she used tons of public financial/law enforcement resources to hunt for her and had many people concerned and volunteering their time to help. Now the story the family is putting out there is leaving people in the area where she was found believing that there might be someone abducting and doing heaven knows what to women out there. While I don't think any of us needs to know the details, I do think the public needs to know whether or not there was a kidnapping. Tall tales do a disservice to those who really are missing.

I agree with the bold text. It hasn't been all that long ago that there was a runaway bride in Georgia who claimed abduction when she really ran away.

And, as you note, draw on public resources unnecessarily.

I thought it was interesting that after the first day or so the parents stopped mentioning she'd just gotten home from four months in rehab. Maybe they thought she'd look less sympathetic?
