Still No Charges in Abduction Hoax
April 30 - Two weeks after a Kansas teen fakes her own abduction, many people wonder if she'll ever be charged with a crime. Kelsey Stelting admitted she called 911 and pretended to have been kidnapped from her Independence home.
The search for Stelting involved hundreds of people and consumed countless resources. Wichita defense attorney Dan Monnat says because Stelting is a juvenile, the very most she could be charged with is making a false report. He says that would result in anything from placement in a juvenile correctional facility to having her driver's license restricted.
According to a family friend, most of the town of Independence wants the state to go easy on Stelting. She says Kelsey has the support of her community and church. The friend says there are some people who believe she deserves to be punished, but many are simply forgiving her.
Stelting is currently in counseling and continues to be involved in church and school.
