Woman admits acid attack self-inflicted.

A woman who claimed she was the victim of an acid attack has admitted her injuries were self-inflicted, Vancouver, Wash., police said Thursday afternoon.
Police Chief Clifford Cook said at an afternoon news conference that Bethany Storro, 28, told detectives the truth during an interview after discrepancies emerged in her story.
Her interview was conducted after a search of her home, which she shares with her parents, police said. Interviews with her family are continuing, they said.
Police will turn over their findings to prosecutors who will decide if charges will be filed against Storro, 28.
They said they were not ready to discuss Storro's motivations. Storro is remorseful and in a "fragile mental state," police said.

Splash patterns and other parts of the story, like wearing sunglasses at night, led to the unraveling of Storro's story, Cook said.
"All things that didn't add up to the circumstance," Cook said.
The revelation followed the cancellation of Storro's scheduled Thursday appearance on "Oprah."
Storro originally claimed a black woman with a ponytail threw acid in her face at night on Aug. 30 as she was celebrating a new job and had just bought a pair of sunglasses.

Police said it was important to get the word of Storro's confession out immediately to assure the public knew that the Esther Park area of downtown Vancouver, scene of the alleged attack, was safe.
Just a week ago, NBC affiliate KGW TV of Portland, Ore., reported that a remarkably upbeat and candid Storro sat in front of reporters at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and described how a woman threw acid on her face.

She claimed her attacker said "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" before splashing the acid that burned her face.
Storro said she held the news conference then to draw attention to efforts to find the attacker, but also to talk about her faith.
"I'm here today because of Jesus Christ," she said at the time, adding that the strength of her faith would allow her to move forward.

This woman has serious issues. I find it hard to listen to her, hard to find compassion for creating this story.
