Runaway Bride Pulls a Seiler
Maybe Audrey Seiler wasn't such a crazy after all. Maybe pretending to be kidnapped is just normal behavior. Maybe its supposed to be a funny. We can just say, oh she just pulled a Seiler.
Jennifer Wilbanks ran away before her wedding. She took a bus to Albuqueuque and called her husband to be and told him she was kidnapped.
While she was on a bus to Vegas, her fiance came under questioning, the family thought she might be dead, and the local law enforcement set up a search. This sounds like a great "joke" to me. I'm surprised more people didn't do this on April first.
After turning herself in and admitting that she lied, she flew home first class, wearing a new FBI hat, blazer, polo shirt and pants and carrying a new tote bag and teddy bear, a gift from the aviation police chief.
They're unsure at this point if they'll charge her with a crime even though they're now finding evidence that this may have been premeditated. She bought the bus ticket around April 20th and has been saving up cash for the trip.
They should put her in jail, fine her for damages, and prevent her from profiting by doing a talk show circuit and a book deal.
