I think she wanted to be found. If I read the article correctly, she was at the border, and identified herself as someone ‘wanted by the FBI’. Who’s going to say that at a checkpoint, even as a ‘joke’? Nobody I know.
Perhaps she expected to be shot dead at some point, hence her wish to move events along a little bit.
