Teen Fakes Her Own Abduction

(Photo : REUTERS/Rebecca Cook) Detroit Police Officers stand on Woodward Avenue during a May Day protest (2014). Local police officers had been lead on by an eighteen-year-old girl, who had claimed she was abducted in Detroit's suburbs.
In Ecorse, Michigan, one eighteen-year-old girl has not made local police officers happy.
Investigators are still struggling to understand what made Hayley Turner stage her own abduction and lead them on a search for her. Yet Turner is now having her case sent to the Wayne County prosecutor's office, where the officers intend to press charges.

With this new plan in place, officers intend to officially charge Turner with filing a fake police report with the possibility of being charged twice--one for each county her abduction had spanned (Monroe and Wayne counties).
The original search for Turner--who the police had originally believed was abducted--lasted only 16 hours. The search ended with Turner being identified on a street corner 45 miles from Bedford Township on Friday, completely unharmed.
However, Turner had insisted that she had jumped from her kidnapper's car.
Prior to her recovery, Turner had originally parked and left her car in Bedford Township on Thursday night after calling one of her friends. During the phone call, Turner had told her friend that she had pulled over to help a man she saw in a ditch.
Turner had disclosed to her friend that as she got out of her car to help the man, he began to approach her with a gun. After discussing the gun, Turner promptly hung up the phone on her friend.
When her father discovered her car in his search later on, Turner was nowhere in sight. Left behind in the car was Turner's wallet.
Only a few blocks away, Turner had left her cell phone with its battery removed.
In her first interview with the police, Turner had mentioned that the alleged kidnapper had covered her head and taken her to a basement. It was there that the kidnapper's accomplice had met them.
However, much of what Turner told the police did not make sense. In one part of her interview, Turner insisted that one of the men had been as tall as the door and was vague and unsure about the other physical features of her two abductors--but the height did not convince Police Detective Lieutenant Gregory D. Blade.
Turner had also mentioned that her kidnappers had given her a puppy, which she was somehow able to hold onto during her escape. In the escape she described, Turner explained that she had managed to kick open the car door and took off through the neighboring yards.
It was then that Blade began to think that Turner may have been leading him on.
Aside from being unable to describe the car she had managed to successfully escape, Turner mentioned that she had been physically harmed by one of her kidnappers. However, officers have disclosed that the leg injury Turner was referring to looked self-inflicted at best.
Officers had managed to come to a conclusion this past Sunday, when the FBI and officers had agreed no legitimate abduction took place at all. The search itself had cost officers funds and resources--including a helicopter, dogs, and various agencies--that could have been used in a more urgent emergency matter.
When later confronted, Turner finally admitted that the entire abduction was a lie, though she did not give any clear explanation as to why she caused it to occur.
Turner's family did offer information that she had been battling emotional issues earlier in the year, though the family has not disclosed what, if any, explanation Turner had given to them.
