Missing Fiancee - Good News and Bad News

That woman who went missing in Georgia just days before her wedding? She has been found. That's the good news. The bad news is that she just didn't want to get married.

Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, was in police custody more than 1,420 miles from her home on what was supposed to be her wedding day Saturday.

"It turns out that Miss Wilbanks basically felt the pressure of this large wedding and could not handle it," said Randy Belcher, the police chief in Duluth, Ga., the Atlanta suburb where Wilbanks lives with her fiance. He said there would be no criminal charges.

Wilbanks had called her fiance, John Mason, from a pay phone late Friday and told him that she had been kidnapped three days earlier while jogging, authorities said. Her family rejoiced that she was safe, telling reporters that the media coverage apparently got to the kidnappers.

But Wilbanks, who is a nurse, soon recanted, according to police.
Wow. They could almost make a movie about something like this.

At least she's okay.
