The story of someone slipping something into her backpocket (jeans pocket)...with a note...telling her to go elsewhere...smells awful fishy. My best guess is that she really irrated someone on the base...either US or local national...and this was intended as really bad practical joke. In recent years...I've seen a number of military NCO's and officers have episodes happen...that were "pay-back"...and this really smells like a episode like that.
In any case...you will never hear another word about this entire case. And the officer...she will be out of the military within three years...with no explanation offered.
"Kyrgyz police officials said the stores security videotapes recorded her walking out of the store alone. They also said her cellular phone records showed she had called numbers outside Bishkek and that witnesses said she traveled by car to a bus station on the capitals eastern side."
Later stories added that she said she was "like in a trance"
as she followed the instructions in the note placed in her pack (or pocket), with the bomb.
Bomb?
Someone set us up the bomb?
"Bomb?"
"BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan A U.S. Air Force officer who went missing for three days says someone stuffed an object in her jeans pocket with a note saying it was bomb and telling her to go to a site in Bishkek, where kidnappers grabbed her, Kyrgyz authorities said Saturday.
They said Maj. Jill Metzger reported feeling as if she were in a trance as she followed the instructions."
Something more important remains in Krgystan.
