FYI: Update from Big Island Chronicle (another "blog", with an editor that is a bona fide journalist. Not defending Damon Tucker either, however, it ends up he was correct. Hope it's OK to drag BIC over here when it pertains to issues discussed.

A 19-year-old University of Hawaii student lied when she told police and the media that she was attacked at knifepoint in the bathroom of the Geology Building Tuesday.
“We are trying to unweave this wicked web of hers that spiraled out of control,” the student’s mother said Saturday.
A police detective who met with the student Friday “figured out something was not right,” the student’s mother said. He had the student call her mother in Ewa Beach to confess to lying. False reporting charges won’t be filed against the student, her mother said.
“I was pleasantly surprised at how much empathy the detective had, even when he got her to tell the truth,” the student’s mother said.
She expressed remorse to BIC and the media as a whole, to police, to campus security, and to university officials who she hounded for not being more swift about putting out an alert to other students about the alleged attack. University officials issued an email alert a couple of days after the false report was made.
“I’m sorry, I want to make amends,” the student told BIC. ”I didn’t know how big it was going to get.”
WOW. This child certainly has some issues. JMO.
Oh, and the mall was on lock down the other night due to a report to police of a potential gun in the mall. Only posted in case anyone had family there. JMO.
