Mystery surrounds California woman found a decade after alleged kidnapping
There's confusion over what really happened to a woman who, police say, was kidnapped and held against her will for a decade.

There is no mystery. As an underage girl, she ran off with and married an older man. When, several years later, the marriage soured, she decided to avoid responsibility by claiming she was kidnapped. However, kidnapped girls do not have cars of their own, a phone at hand, internet access and a Facebook page. The story is, as they say "a crock".
A pointedly cynical explanation.
