ACID ATTACK VICTIM ADMITTS FRAUD

Acid attack hoax: Bethany Storro could face felony charges for faking attack


WASHINGTON - On August 30, Bethany Storro of Vancouver,Wash., told media that a woman she’d never seen approached her just outside a Starbuck’s and threw a cup of acid in her face, leaving her hospitalized and disfigured – now she says she faked the attack and threw the acid on herself.
Why? That’s something police are working to uncover.
Dr. David Swanson, a psychologist, told CBS News, "Really, what you're seeing for somebody like this is just a big hole in this life, and a strong desperate need for attention and willingness to go to an extent to get it."
Police say they have no explanation for Storro's hoax, but say she is sorry.
Strorro was scheduled to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show this week to share her story, but quickly backed out when rumors she’d faked the attack spread like wildfire on the Internet.
No one wanted to believe she could fake such a vicious attack - especially Derri Velarde who, four days after Storro was attacked, suffered from a similar vicious acid attack that some believe may have been a copy-cat crime.
Velarde suffered burns to her face, neck, and back.
Things just didn’t add up
Police said things were just not adding up, which is why they served a search warrant on Storro’s home, searching the home and re-interviewed her Thursday.
During the search and interview Storro admitted to police that she did this to herself.
Chief Clifford Cook, of the Vancouver Police Department, told reporters, "Miss Storro admitted that her injuries were self-inflicted. The attack itself did not occur as she had previously reported."
Police say Storro now faces possible criminal charges, including the possibility of felony charges and fraud.
Commander Marla Schuman of the Vancouver Police Department – the detective who interviewed Storro on Thursday - said on “The Early Show” Friday that she knows why Storro doused herself with acid but said they aren’t discussing that now because of possible charges.
Schuman said, "There are probably pending charges, based on the actions of Bethany that prevent us from doing that. So, is there a motive? I'm sure there is. And one can only wonder what her state of mind is."
Schuman also said, "She is extremely upset. She's very remorseful. In many ways this just got bigger than what she expected."
According to Schuman, there were issues with Storro’s story from the beginning. She said there were red flags and a lot of holes. The more they developed the case, it became evident this was a self-inflicted act. That’s what lead police to searching her home and re-interviewing Storro.
Police retrieved several pieces of evidence but would not say what they were. They did say they did not find acid in her home.
Range of charges
Storro faces a range of charges, Schuman said. “The basic charge would be false reporting. It could go, depending on whether she accessed any of the funds from the fund-raisers, any of the financial aspects of this, could go all the way up to felony charges and fraud."
CBS News co-anchor Erica Hill said the police department is trying to get some of the money back that was donated to Storro.
Schuman said Storro's family doesn't appear to have known anything about the self-inflicted wounds.
"At this point, they're very concerned for Bethany and they appear very devastated," Schuman said
