Lost & Found

This past Tuesday Jennifer Wilbanks of Georgia was reported missing by her fiance. She had supposedly disappeared while jogging. The saddest part of the story was that the couple was to be married today.

This touched off a massive search of the area where she had been running, involving hundreds of police, search dogs, helicopters, and thousands of volunteers. It quickly became a national story. Late yesterday the authorities in Georgia called off the search, saying they had exhausted all possible leads, and searched every place conceivable.

These type of stories all too often come to a tragic end with the discovery of a body. And in the the vast majority of the cases, the killer turns out to be the husband or boyfriend of the missing woman.

Consequently suspicion immediately fell on John Mason, the fiance. After all, he was the one who had reported her missing, supposedly just after she had called. You could even hear the undertone of suspicion in the voices of the news people covering the story. The dark cloud of doubt hanging over Mason became even darker when it was announced he had passed a privately administered lie detector test.

Police, however, were not satisfied. They wanted to administer the test themselves. Mason's attorneys spoke up, saying fine, but we want the exam recorded on videotape. The police said no dice, they never record lie detector tests. This impasse obviously meant Mason was guilty.

Well, a few hours ago Miss Wilbanks was finally found.... Perfectly safe.... In Albuquerque, New Mexico, some 1400 miles from her home. It seems that the pressure of this massive wedding with 14 bridesmaids, 14 groomsmen, and 600 guests had gotten to her. So rather than have a stiff drink, she cut her hair to alter her appearance, boarded a bus out of town, inconvenienced thousands of strangers who gave of their time to help look for her, scared her family and friends half to death, and led the entire nation to think her fiance was a cold blooded killer.

John Mason is a very lucky man. The makeup sex following this is going to be GREAT!!!
