Runaway Story

I just don't get it. I didn't get the attention the story got in the first place, or all the upset now that it turns out that fortunately no foul play was involved. In case you haven't guessed, I'm talking about the runaway bride story -- Georgan woman goes out for a run, doesn't return, foul play is suspected but it turns out she was freaked out by the giant wedding and instead of eating a snickers she hopped a bus to Las Vagas. Then she went on to Albuquerque where she called the police back home and claimed to have been kidnapped. Now prosecutors in Georgia are contemplating filing charges for the false report in what is being mislabled as a hoax. They police are talking about all the effort they put in but somehow overlook it pretty much all took place before the false report. I'm just hoping this is it.
