Well, maybe not her parents and fiancee, because I have this idea that they played a role in her being too afraid to simply call off the wedding.dustin said:So do you also feel sorry for her fiance, family, friends and the people who put their daily lives aside to search for her, fearing she was dead, only to find out that she was too immature to deal with problems like an adult?
But, yeah, it was a dirty trick to play on community members, law enforcement, etc. She should have some form of punishment - it's just...what? They already had a search party out and she was a huge news topic before she called her fiancee and told him she had been kidnapped, then later tried to tell the police the same story.
It's not against the law to ditch your fiancee practically at the alter and take off without telling your parents. She was over 18 - she can do what she wants. I think the family jumped the gun on this but what do you do? Every minute counts in a real abduction scenario. That's why most law enforcement won't doing anything about a missing person until the person has been gone for x amount of time.
For the record, though, I think her parents are lying when they said there was absolutely no indication that she was having cold feet. I think they just ignored it and enjoyed the attention her disappearance brought them.
