No, and she didn't have to do that. Amazingly there is DNA tests in the magical land of Asia... Where they could test for a DNA match to insure you actually have the person before wasting money to bring them here. They could also have talked to the family to insure that the man could actually have BEEN in Boulder on that Christmas rather than with his brand new wife and kid in Atlanta at his Dad's house...
There is about a billion things this idiot could have done instead of what she did.
Announce that she caught the guy spend tons of cash for Business Class tickets to bring him to CA only to find that he wasn't really the guy. Something that most of us knew within hours of him first hitting the news...
*sigh* Honestly. There is no need to apologize for this idiot woman.
Gasp! He's a she! Hoisted on my own petard, and guilty of assumption sexism. I'm so ashamed.
I haven't followed it closely enough to argue with you, as much as I like doing so just for the hell for it.
