Was just thinking about this as it relates to this particular case. The crime may be hard to find here.

Unless they can prove she didn’t see a child on side of the interstate thus filing a false report. Or unless there’s other proof it was staged by her or others. Leaving a running car on side of the road may be a minor crime and maybe some trespassing but what else? It was only inferred she was abducted even if somebody heard her scream. She hasn’t claimed it to my knowledge. Even if she just walked to a hotel and slept the whole weekend is that a crime? Irrational actions aren’t necessarily illegal

Plus, she came back pretty quickly. The Pappini woman in California was gone for like 7 weeks, and told the police about kidnappers and getting branded after she came back, using up a ton more resources.

If this woman just fesses up to where she went the police night just write it off. They probably saw nothing happened on the traffic cam pretty quickly.
