Summary:University of Illinois student Nandhini Subbiah acknowledged her story of being kidnapped and taken on a 99-day, 12,000-mile sojourn was a hoax, state police and the FBI said Friday. "This is a tangled web that was weaved over some 3 1/2 months," said Illinois State Police Director Terry Gainer at a Springfield news conference. "We've unraveled enough of it to know it's not all true. I think we've all been innocent victims of the disappearance of Nan Subbiah." "Our prayers have been answered," said R.V. Subbiah, the woman's father. "Nandhini is very happy to be home with her family and friends, and we are all looking forward to returning to a normal life."
