This would be amusing if it didn’t involve an actual kidnapping. According to The Daily News Online (and a few other sources), a Longview grocery store clerk claimed that she waited on kidnapping victim Laci Peterson…then forgot to tell police:
“This is serious,” the Market Place clerk recalled the woman as telling her sometime in December. “I was kidnapped. Call the authorities when I leave.”The clerk initially intended to call police but became distracted and forgot. She didn’t act until late last week after a CNN report on Laci Peterson, 27, jogged her memory.
First, if it’s legit, how do you forget a kidnapping victim pleading for you to call the authorities, and, second, if it’s a hoax, what kind of lame story is that? (Thanks, Em, for pointing this one out.)
