A Woman Admitted She Lied After Showing Up In Her Bra At Church Saying She Was Gang Raped When She Went Missing From Her Fiancé
NYDN – Breana Harmon Talbott was reported missing earlier this month by her fiancé, who said that he had found her car with its door open and personal effects such as her phone nearby.
The 18-year-old later reemerged in the city of Denison [Texas] the same day, interrupting a service at a local church by walking in with visible scratches and only a shirt, bra and underwear.
Talbott told police that she was abducted, taken to a wooded area near the church and gang-raped by men wearing ski masks that she described as “three black males.”
Medical examiners “were unable to corroborate that Talbott had been sexually assaulted,” police said.
Denison Police said in a statement released Wednesday, two weeks after the alleged incident, that detectives soon developed doubts about her account and that the teen admitted to the hoax on Tuesday night.
She also allegedly admitted to staging the church entrance and causing the cuts to her body herself.
The UVA-Rolling Stone situation was a strong example of the danger of throwing sexual assault allegations around with no basis in reality. And it goes without saying that making up some sort of gang rape To Kill A Mockingbird situation in Texas is potentially a billion times worse. But what really got me here was how Gone Girl the whole situation is. She concocted this situation where she either went missing and covered it up or just wanted to leave, then she dramatically returns to a church with cuts all over her and her clothes torn off and probably looking like she’s been through a war. That goes so far beyond a normal lie. That’s some kind of next level thought towards the lie that I don’t even know how you charge this girl with just a misdemeanor falsified police report. This chick’s brain at just 18 years old already has the kind of evil functionality that could take down entire cities by the time she’s 25. You want that out there in the world, potentially winning you over after a few whiskeys in some honky tonk bar in Denison? She should have to declare this situation to anyone she ever meets like a registered sex offender moving into a neighborhood.

Plus the whole making sure they knew it was “three black guys” thing is a sign of a pretty awful person. That’s the kind of shit that could start a war locally — police specifically called out how awful it was that she singled out the black community in a quote — and she threw it out there just to get out of trouble with her fiancé when she was doing whatever she was doing. Evil. And what was she even doing? No sign of sexual misconduct so was she even cheating on him? Or just running away from him and the situation and then casually decided the best route was dicing her clothes up, scratching herself, and blaming the nearest ethnic minority? Horrifying to even think there’s a brain somewhere that works like that.
Background checks and polygraph tests before you put a ring on it, that’s the only move. Better safe than sorry.
