I agree with kapablanca, women are always doing weird stuff for attention. These ones just took it too far.

I'm speculating on potentialities surrounding this odd case- bottom line is no one knows anything about her situation and it seems about as strange as everything else going on in the world these days; can you blame me for coming up with such a not so bizarre theory? I thought it sounded interesting and stimulating on paper.

I notice that you completely ignored what I had posted
Ignore what a man says, but reply to what a possible woman has said. You also did it in a way where you felt the need to try and explain your posts in detail as if you think they're dumb and can't comprehend it. Like they're beneath you.
Women issues much?
You weren't just throwing a conspiracy spin on it, you are clearly trying hard to troll the thread and failing miserably. You also have very clear women issues.

Something is very odd... I don't know yet if I believe this.
Its a very good distraction, just like the Boston Bombing.
From the photos, the house looks fairly normal. How could so many people be held hostage for so many years without anyone being the wiser?
After xx years of captivity, is this the FIRST time that the perp left the house for Macca's?...
I dunno.. seems like a good distraction to me.edit on 7-5-2013 by bellagirl because: (no reason given)

Fantastic news. Finally something good in all the bad.
It does make me wonder though. A few years back two boys were rescued in Missouri one had been missing for 10-12 years the other was fairly new. Now these girls have been missing for such a long time. It makes me wonder how many missing persons and kids are alive and locked up in someone's basement or something.
Sort of scary how that can happen.
Hopefully they can transition back into society without too many hang-ups. I am certain it will be difficult though.

In 1991, Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was kidnapped from South Lake Tahoe at 11 years old, has been found after living for 18 years in "a backyard compound of sheds and tarps" owned by her alleged captor.
Dugard was forced into a car while her stepfather, Carl Probyn, tried to give chase. Probyn says the kidnapping ended his marriage to Dugard's mother Terry, and that "It's like having your heart ripped out." Probyn was initially a suspect in the kidnapping, but the real culprits appear to be Philip Garrido and his wife Nancy. Garrido had apparently held Dugard in a network of tents, sheds, and tarps in a "hidden backyard-within-a-backyard" in Antioch, CA. In the 18 years he kept her there, he raped her and fathered two of her children, the first when Dugard was just 14. Her daughters Angel and Starlet are now 11 and 15. The children had never been to school, or to a doctor, according to authorities. Garrido was caught when a police officer noticed him acting strangely toward the girls on the UC Berkeley campus. A background check revealed that Garrido was on parole, and was a registered sex offender previously convicted of rape and kidnapping. The day after the Berkeley incident, Garrido visited his parole officer — possibly voluntarily — with Dugard and the two girls, as well as his wife Nancy. He and Nancy Garrido were both arrested.
The kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart occurred on June 5, 2002, when 14-year-old American girl Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah. Smart was found alive nine months later on March 12, 2003, in Sandy, Utah, about 18 miles from her home, in the company of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Ileen Barzee, who were indicted for her kidnapping, but initially ruled unfit to stand trial. Barzee, in 2009, and Mitchell (then 57), in 2010, were eventually convicted. He was held in the Salt Lake County Jail following his sentencing on May 25, 2011. On August 31, he was transferred to federal prison to begin serving a life sentence for his crimes.
