This is America. One should be able to come and go as one pleases. If the story is true that she has had cold feet in the past, the family should have disclosed that. Everyone that entered the search for her had free choice to do so or not.
Common sense tells me that even the report she gave leo about the abduction could be soft pedaled. I think just about anyone would cook up a tale (temorarily at least) when we do something really, really stupid, no? We are too quick to extract a pound of flesh in America, sometime, especially when we overreact to stuff and we have a little egg on our faces. (enough of that to go around in this case, starting with Miss Coldfoot.)
Imho the media has made such an issue out of things of this nature in their never ending search for titilation of the masses, it's bound to happen from time to time that a small thing will be overplayed.
Me-thinks the young lady is embarrased if not a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. Her family ought to be extatic she is ok. LEO should have gotten a free drill on how they work in situations like this (like the contrived disaster drills), media should be a bit embarrased and the fiance ought to be relieved to have a chance to stay single.
