Oh wow! That was fast. Hopefully, it was just something non-threatening like she needed to get away from everything or something.

A tip from Penn State helped police solve the case. They mentioned Stein had not been attending classes for nearly a year. Previous information indicated Stein was a senior in college who was about to graduate.

Stein allegedly ditched her car after driving a short distance following her shift at Sonic. She then made her way to Jeannette and stayed at the home of an acquaintance for about 21 hours.

According to police, Stein may be facing charges for the made-up story.

Oh wow, didn't expect this. So Chloe's family was under the impression that she's about to graduate from college this weekend and it turned out that she dropped out nearly a year ago?

Bbm.
That sounds appropriate. ^^^
Any resources used should be paid in full by CS.

Think about how this could impact the victim of a true threat or crime !

I have seen this before and although I am very grateful CS is fine, putting her family and LE through this is not acceptable. I hope she gets the help she needs. IMO

And we all felt so sorry for Schmoopie. Tsk!

"The only reason we are here before tomorrow is because the people need to know there is not somebody pulling people over this minute that is abducting people," Limani said.

Police said Tuesday night her story was made up. Stein's mom said she was set to graduate from Penn State Greater Allegheny this weekend, but a university official told police Stein was not in school for more than 1 1/2 years.

[...]

Police said they searched for six to seven hours on Tuesday using K-9s and a helicopter. Limani said police spent "tens of thousands of dollars" looking for her."

Thank God she is fine but what was she thinking!

0:24 onwards from the video, she has what looks like a fresh scar on her face.

She definitely needs to be held responsible for all costs involved and might even need to spend some time in jail to think about what she did. This is a completely unacceptable cry for attention that doesn't need to become the norm...

 

[swanniee11]

Thank God she is fine but what was she thinking!

She was probably thinking " I'm supposed to graduate next weekend, how am I supposed to get out of that, oh wait, lets make a big commotion and take the heat off of me, lets feel bad for me" IMO

This link had multiple videos, all of them ads. Do you have one that has any actual news footage?

I'm thinking this isn't the only thing she's lied about, and realized things were about to close in on her and did this as an escape plan.

Yeah, bill her for the search costs, and "sentence" her to therapy.

 

[ifindedout]

OK, now what was she doing in that 1 1/2 year period?

yeah, I bet the stress of having to "graduate" when she had dropped out got to her. I hope she gets the help she needs, but also she does need to face punishment to prevent other people thinking its a good idea to waste resources like this.

I knew a compulsive liar. All the lies built on top of each other until she had no way to go anymore. It kinda imploded her life and she had to start over. Ironically she herself became a therapist.

What on earth??

It's made it all so much better, hasn't it? Especially if her parents foot the bill for the chopper and searches!

Her poor parents! They would have been so proud of her this weekend, they must have bought their outfits for her graduation, and instead they have to deal with this.
