An alderwoman from Alberta

It's big post time, so brace yourselves: H. Vincent writes "This story was very big in canada
An alderwoman from Alberta went on a trip to the States with some other councillors and went missing. She turned up in a Las Vegas hotel and "told Las Vegas police she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted but refused a medical examination and wouldn't offer police any details." People thought she was dead and the police searched for her at the taxpayer's expense. It turns out she just had a fling and got caught so she told the usual lies. She has been charged but it will be interesting to so how "accountable" she will be held. One other thing is that she has children. For making them think that their mom had been kidnapped and maybe killed she should be punished. That is very cruel abuse to put a child through. I wish they would prevent her from contacting them." Andrew74 writes "Here is a story about a Lethbridge alderman who had a whole city fooled. She went missing and when found she claimed to have been raped and kidnapped. Under further investigation police found that she had made up the whole story and instead had run off with a married man. She cried lots after being caught in her lies and we should all feel sorry for her hairaising ordeal. She shouldn't resign from her post as alderman and just take leave so she can get better after all she went through. At least at the end some Lethbridge folk use there brains and see her for the horrible manipulator and embarresment she is. I'm unsure of how long the story will be here so read it while you can." Garth writes "Darlene Heatherington, a Lethbridge, Alberta alderwoman, vanished recently, turning up later in Las Vegas. She had a dramatic tale of abduction and rape. Under police questioning, however, her story fell to pieces, and she now claims she got tired of her life and ran off with a married man for a chance at a new life. This second story has yet to be substantiated. The police are quite unhappy with her, but there is no indication yet that she will face charges."
