One woman’s search for everything might end up costing her tens of thousands of dollars and her engagement.
Oklahoma police looking for a missing bride-to-be found her 600 miles away in a South Texas beach town, in the company of another man.
The police search for 39-year-old Tiffiny Bray caused a scare after media reported that the blond woman was in danger after she sent a message indicating she was being held against her will. More than two weeks after her disappearance, detectives found Bray with another man in a hotel room in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Fiance Chad McGuire says it’s unlikely he’ll ever speak to Bray again. Police say they’ll send Bray a bill for all the money they spent looking for her, which could run into tens of thousands of dollars.
