Love Is...Never Having To Say You're Sorry to the FBI, the Local Sheriff's Department, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation

A bride-to-be whose disappearance prompted a widespread search and commanded national media attention went to the police in albuquerque early today, telling investigators that she had gotten cold feet days before her wedding and fled....

At news of her safety, there was jubilation outside the home of her fiance, John Mason, where family and friends had gathered over the past four days. Mr. Mason, who was the last person confirmed to have seen her here and has been under pressure to take a police polygraph test, came out on hi porch and wave his arms in victory.

Later, however, after news of Ms. Wilbanks's scheme became known, the mood quickly became more subdued. "Oh. Well, shit," Mr. Mason was heard to say.

Hourse after the news broke...a spokesman for the family read a less brief statement to reporters outside the home of her fiance'.

"We're so proud Jennifer is alive and well," said the spokesman, Mike Satterfield, who is Ms. Wilbank's uncle. "It has been determined Jennifer had some issues the family was not aware of. The family would appreciate some time and space to assist Jennifer in dealing with these issues.

It sounds like someone's heading for a Time Out. (I'm looking at you, Jennifer.)
