LMAO. She's really serving, but sis couldn't even pretend to look contrite!!!

[thispaintedlife]

it's giving me at 8 years old when my mom caught me in a lie lol

[genbu_no_miko24]

lol irl at the mugshot.

[maggiecate]

She looks better in her mugshot than I do in any photo of me ever

[lisafrank0cean]

i wonder what she plans to do professionally after all this, i come from a family of nurses… passive aggression & loooong ass memories- so she can go ahead and put THAT on the back burner

[genbu_no_miko24]

lol righhhtt. I think she was pre-med or something in college? I was like "pfft goodbye to that now" :|

[fauxkaren]

She was in nursing school, iirc.

I uh... think that career path is not gonna pan out now.

[squirrels_oh_no]

She'll end up on a reality show in 6 months that's as far ahead as she's thinking now.

[deja_vu822]

that's a good mugshot if i'm being honest

[matsaurus]

Why do this?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Maybe she's in her self-sabotage era lol :S

[matsaurus]

She's in full sabotage if this was just done for attention. The attention to actual missing women (especially of color) is already so bad - anyone who was going to pursue this could've pursued a real case in that time.

lol srsly though, it seems like it was to gain attention and sympathy? i really don't think that she was intending things to get as big as they did in terms of attracting national attention and uh, i do not think she thought out an end game. i think her plan didn't get much further beyond 'make people miss me and feel sorry for me'.
