MADISON, Wis. - Police strongly suggested Friday that a college student's tale of being kidnapped at knifepoint was a hoax, saying she researched places to hide and bought rope and duct tape to make it look like an abduction.
"We do not believe there is a suspect at large, period," Assistant Police Chief Noble Wray said.
Surveillance video showed University of Wisconsin sophomore Audrey Seiler, 20, walking out of her apartment early Saturday wearing only sweats. She was found Wednesday in a marsh about two miles away — cold and dehydrated but otherwise unharmed.
Wray said police had videotape showing Seiler buying duct tape, rope and cold medicine, all items she had claimed her abductor used to restrain her. She also used her computer to search Web sites for information about Madison parks and the extended weather forecast, Wray said.
Wray said the check of her computer also indicated someone had used it during the four days Seiler was missing, and at least two witnesses said they had seen her walking freely in the city during that time.
-WTF?!! Talk about sick in the head.
These people must feel stupid right now.
