    If you want to play a hoax on people… there’s things that will actually make people laugh. Do those. don’t cry wolf and pretend something awful happened to you.

    They’re looking for criminal charges, I hope the find one. Claiming to be kidnapped and starting to get a nationwide manhunt started? Fuck your ass.

    There’s a 911 call to start this, she disappeared for 49 hours too. That is malicious intent, not a joke or “hoax”.

    Was she trying for some easy donations or something? Hoax sounds very much like an afterthought

    This was super obviously suspicious from day 1. I immediately thought either this person was in a drug induced haze, trying to cover up a drunk/drugged driving incident, in the middle of a mental health crisis, or covering up being somewhere with someone they shouldn’t have been at the time.
