Monday, May 2, 2005. The news has been full of a woman in Georgia who just before her wedding disappeared. The times being the times, allegedly the family presumed kidnapping or even that the fiance killed her. The police, according to the AP, considered this a criminal case. This young man offered to have himself given a polygraph test, which he passed, and offered to have it done again on video.
Meanwhile the woman phoned home that she was indeed kidnapped. Within a day or so, though, she turned up in Albuquerque, having taking a bus there. She had cold feet, was all.
She may be charged with filing a false report. I hope she is. I also hope she gets the bill for the work law enforcement did.
More than that, though, knowing this will be co-opted into a screenplay soon, is that I wonder about these two families and all the polygraph tests. It doesn’t bode well for a trusting marriage. -30-
