Investigators are calling Monday's teacher disappearance a hoax, saying she's responsible for the anti-gay slur spray painted on her garage door, the broken window on her house and the blood and hair found in the kitchen.

However, they stated, she hasn't committed a crime and will face no charges in an ordeal that she contends can't remember anything about.
"We don't feel like she was abducted. There is no evidence she was abducted," said Capt. Vic Hollifield of the McDowell County Sheriff's Office. "We feel like what we saw at the scene was overkill versus what we usually see with kidnappings."

Amanda Fields, 28, of 3199 U.S. 70 East is a seventh- and eighth-grade language arts teacher at West McDowell Junior High School. She failed to show up for work Monday, so a deputy went to her home to conduct a "welfare check." Sgt. Lynn Greene of the Sheriff's Office arrived to find Fields' car in the driveway with the door open and the keys lying in the seat. "Go to hell faggits" was painted in red on the garage door. When he saw that a window had been broken out of a door leading into the house, he went inside and discovered a small amount of blood smeared in the kitchen, along with some hair, a chair overturned and a guitar smashed to pieces in the living room.

From looking at their website and this story, you have no idea what state or where this incident occurred. With so many people now checking websites from all over the country and the world, you'd think they could at least put the name of their city & state on the home page. This has been irking me for a while. Heads up designers!!

Every time a fake claim gets made all the genuine ones suffer. Many of the ones in the media come from the education sector, where I am, which pisses me off even more, since it impacts me directly.
