Story of kidnapping a hoax www.privateofficer.com
SAN DIEGO CA. Jan 8 2008-- A woman's claim that she was abducted from her home and held for two weeks against her will was a hoax, sheriff's deputies told the area news channels.
The woman made the story up, according to Sgt. Robert Bishop of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The incident began Sunday night when a woman told security officers at Casino Pauma that she had escaped a kidnapper. The woman told security that the man kidnapped her in the city of Placentia in Orange County and held her at various locations for days.
The claim led to a high-speed chase of a man authorities believed was the kidnapper. The pursuit crossed four different interstates, lasted 60 minutes and spanned 67 miles, Bishop said.
When the woman was questioned hours later by deputies, "the details in her story weren't adding up. This two weeks of captivity, at various places in San Bernardino, it didn't stand up," Bishop told news reporters.
Eventually, deputies said she told them her relationship with her husband "was on the outs." When detectives confronted her, she admitted that she had left her husband and had spent the last two weeks traveling through the Indian Casinos across Southern California, according to Bishop.
William Federico, 45, was behind the wheel of the woman's pickup when they chased the vehicle from the casino all the way to Del Mar, officials said. They were able to stop it with a spike strip on Interstate 5.
Federico is a parolee who had a warrant out for his arrest, Bishop said. He is being held in Vista jail without bail. He faces charges of felony evasion.
The woman, whose name has not been released, may also face charges in connection with the case.
Federico and the woman were aquaintances, according to officials.
