The case of the missing college student, Audrey Seiler, gets stranger by the minute. Video footage shows her leaving her apartment 2:30am Saturday night without a jacket, without her purse, without her cell phone. The lack of a coat is noteworthy, as it was in the mid-40s. She was found Wednesday afternoon in a marshy area not two miles from her apartment.
But her story doesn’t wash. She claimed to have been abducted by white man, late 20s or early 30s, about 6 feet tall, wearing a black sweatshirt, jeans, and black hat. He was allegedly armed with a gun and a knife. (“Come with me, or I’ll stab you! …and then I’ll shoot you!”) No word on if he had a mustache, a scar across his left cheek, and a pirate patch over his right eye.
Seiler claimed that her attacker kept her bound with rope, duct tape, and cough syrup (apparently he couldn’t spring for a “roofie”). Big surprise: police found the video footage of her buying those items in a store prior to the alleged incident.
Two witnesses claim to have seen her during the time when she claimed to have been detained.
When the police confronted her about these issues, she admitted that she wasn’t abducted in front of her apartment by a man at knife point. She just left her apartment “to be alone.” But she still holds that she was abducted… just… not in front of her apartment. It was “at a different location in the city.”
Police now think she’s lying, and that there is no suspect at large.

Though the police probably don’t need much more evidence, I would imagine that a cursory look into this girl’s personal life would reveal an extreme need for attention.
People like this often fake rapes, suicides and hate crimes as a way to bring attention to themselves.

The parents and the friends have been playing the “she was so well adjusted, we didn’t think of her as a child, she was so reliable and mature” card.
Sort of like the parents of the kids who murdered all those students in Littleton Colorado…
Rob says
You hear comments like that from the family so often that its become a cliche.
A serial killer gets arrested and the neighbors say “He seemed like such an ordinary guy.”
By now you think we would have learned that even the most normal-seeming people are capable of anything.
