Woman Who Reported Her Own Abduction Found At Disney World

A woman called 911 from Philadelphia on Tuesday claiming she and her daughter were abducted. Later that afternoon she and her daughter were spotted boarding a plane to Orlando, Florida at Philadelphia International Airport. The woman was arrested when she and her daughter were found at Walt Disney World.

As if this story was troubling enough. What could possibly make someone fake their own abduction? It must be something very bad. The part that gets me is why did she bother calling 911? She’s obviously trying to run away from something so why not just disappear? Why break the law by calling 911 and falsely reporting an abduction?

She also had borrowed the ID of a co-worker under false pretenses and used it to buy her plane tickets. If you’re going to try to disappear then why leave evidence like that? The woman whose ID was borrowed would surely know who took it and they can always use it to trace what it was used for.

This incident remind me of a lecture I heard while in College. The lecturer told us students that whatever we do in life we should use our heard. To paraphrase: “If you’re going to steal then steal with smarts.”
