If you thought Bill O'Reilly had some wild sexual fantasies, get a load of what the Runaway Bride cooked up in that phony police report she gave in New Mexico: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...wilbanks1.html The interesting part begins with the paragraph at the bottom of page 2.

She gave the same story to the police in Georgia over the phone from New Mexico. She recanted a few hours later only after her story was challenged by the authorities in New Mexico because of obvious inconsistencies. If they hadn't challenged her, it is quite probable that she would have continued with her false reports.

So, the question now is, should the entire matter be dropped or should she be charged with making a false police report? Is it less of a crime to make a false police report if you are inept at keeping your story straight? If there are no consequences for this woman, shouldn't others who file false police reports about such serious crimes as kidnapping and rape be accorded the same leniency?

And am I the only one who has noticed that this woman reminds me of Karen Carpenter weeks before her death? Is that why her sick mind conjured up a fat blonde woman and her Hispanic boyfriend with rotten teeth as her rapists?

NOPE!! The bride is WAY too skinny. Obviously has some "issues"...

She did it because she was clearly ill. I have mixed feelings on whether or not she should be charged.

She purchased her bus ticket a full week in advance using a phony name. She deliberately staged her disappearance to make it look like she had been abducted. That's why she left her wallet, keys, ID, etc. behind. She wanted people to believe she had been abducted while jogging.

She took a cab to the bus station and boarded the bus exactly as planned at least a week in advance. She allowed the massive hunt for her to go on because that's what she wanted. It was all part of her deception.

Whether she is sick or not is up to the doctors to determine but she obviously planned this whole thing well in advance and certainly embellished the details of her "captivity." For a minute there, I thought I was reading another Lynne Cheney novel.

She needs a court ordered treatment and a 75k fine.
Probation.

... a week of picking up roadside trash in her wedding dress and a "Honk if you forgive me" sign around her neck would probably wipe the ol' slate clean.

Looks like you were right about the probation and the community service but a bit high on the fine. She got two years probation, 120 hours community service and a $2550 fine.

Now that she has cut a deal to repay only a small part of the cost of the search and rescue operation, wacko Jennifer Wilbanks has sold the media rights to her "life story" for an undisclosed sum.

Maybe they'll make it into a series like "The Fugitive" and drag it on for weeks like all those stupid talent contests.

Who gets to play the part of the rotten-toothed Hispanic male and his over-weight blonde female companion who forced her to engage in all sorts of sordid sex acts in the back of their delivery van?

I don't see how they can pitch this to any of the major networks; it will have to be on cable. Just what we needed, more trash TV.

According to this article, wacko runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks will probably make millions from selling her story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8275685/

Just what we needed, more runaway brides with serious mental problems. And more trash TV!

Ninong,

She has to pay for that 600 guest wedding (and her legal bills...) SOMEHOW

One of the regular networks showed about a one minute segment of an interview that they would be airing later and all I can say is that she lied outright in the one minute segment. I didn't see her full interview because I rarely watch crap like that but she made the claim in the brief segment that was aired that at that moment when "she made the decision to go for a run" it was a life or death decision. And, yes, she was clearly talking about the exact time that she left the house because the interviewer had asked her to tell us what happened that evening and she recounted that her fiance had just returned from his run when she made her "life or death decision" to leave.

Wow! What about the fact that she purchased the bus ticket a week earlier under an assumed name? Was that just in case she might decide to make this life or death decision seven days later? And what about her outrageous false police report with all the sleazy details? I'll bet they don't ask her about that on network TV, especially since it appears from the tone of the interview that she is going to be portrayed in a sympathetic light.
