Breaking news on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX-TV
A missing girl missing since 1986 was thought ot have been found but the person that called family and claimed to be missing daughter was a fraud. She will be charged with a felony.

Sorry if this sounds like something on your local station but there must not be anything happening in the world if all the "big" networks are on this story? All of them at the news conference about this false claim of identity? Excuse me, but isn't this exaggerating this story just a wee, wee bit??

Hoax Declared in Ind. Missing Girl Case

THORNTOWN, Ind. -- A young woman who called the parents of a missing girl and claimed she may be their long-lost daughter was charged Wednesday with committing a cruel hoax.

Shannon Marie Sherrill vanished Oct. 5, 1986, as she played hide-and-seek with neighbor children outside her mother's mobile home in Thorntown, about 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

The caller was Donna L. Walker, 35, of Topeka, Kan., but an investigation has determined she was not Sherrill, state police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten. Her whereabouts were not known on Wednesday, he said.

6. We live just north of Indy and it's been a huge story here
The idea that anyone would be so EVIL as to do that to the family is beyond my comprehension. I hope they find that bee-otch and throw her in jail forever.

7. I think that woman should be hog-tied and publicly flogged
Just kidding, but I do thing she should be locked up for a while. Talk about lack of class.

8. I'm not taking up for the lady that
did this it was mean. BUT could it be that she herself has mental problems? It does happen. It's a little soon don't you think to wish her a jail sentence that's forever? Facts, a trial things like that, don't they still count for anything?
Tsk tsk the corporate media what are they going to do put her on trial in the media? I could understand it, IF they where doing their damn jobs when it comes to reporting on the pResident we have in the WH. BUT their Not.
So when do the usual bimbo's show up on Larry King to yap this story up?

WHY? The hell is this even a freaking big hoop la of a story when things that are way more important are happening that are news worthy? At most this is a local story not a freaking national one. :wtf:????? Corporate Whores!
