Woman fabricated story in manhunt for Illinois officer's killer, police say

<On Wednesday night, Kristin B. Kiefer, 30, called police and said she was driving and pulled over near a cornfield because she was having car trouble, Covelli said.

Kiefer told officers a white man and a black man tried to get in her car, Covelli said. She said when she picked up her phone to call police, the two men fled into the cornfield.

More than 100 federal, state and local law enforcement officers descended on the area overnight. Eleven K9 officers and three aircraft also responded to the tip.

But Kiefer later admitted she fabricated the story because she was looking for attention, Covelli said. >

Who would even think of doing something like that?

I do hope she's enjoying jail.
