Heather Bar­riteau, the woman at the cen­tre of afake ab­duc­tion has con­fessed that she lied.

"Iwas not ab­duct­ed, Iwent on my free will and had a time for the week­end and that is it," she said in an in­ter­view from her hus­band's cel­lu­lar phone.

Asked to com­ment on his wife's ad­mis­sion, De­von Paul, said he did not want to com­ment.

"That went way out of pro­por­tion," he said.

"The last time I tried to clar­i­fy what went on, every­body turn around my words, so I am not say­ing any­thing."

Paul made a miss­ing per­sons re­port to the South­ern Di­vi­sion Po­lice on Sat­ur­day. He said Bar­riteau , 35, dis­ap­peared af­ter leav­ing their Sobo Vil­lage, La Brea home last Fri­day to do some shop­ping in San Fer­nan­do.

She was last seen drink­ing at the Edge Bar on Mu­cu­rapo Street, San Fer­nan­do, with a male com­pan­ion lat­er that af­ter­noon.

She was sup­posed to meet a friend but failed to show up. Calls to her phone lat­er went unan­swered.

On Mon­day, San Fer­nan­do po­lice said, Bar­riteau walked in­to the sta­tion to clar­i­fy she was not miss­ing as re­port­ed on so­cial me­dia.

She al­so checked in­to the Ac­ci­dent and Emer­gency De­part­ment at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal and re­port­ed to staff on du­ty that she had been ab­duct­ed by three men. She al­so claimed she was dropped off at a parang ses­sion held at Carat Shed Bar, which is lo­cat­ed al­most op­po­site the Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion.

The po­lice were lat­er con­tact­ed and went to Carat Shed to re­view their CCTV footage.

An out­raged Camp­bell said his parang ses­sion took place in the night from 9 o'clock.

He said he did not know if Bar­riteau, whom he said is not a reg­u­lar, if she re­turned that night­for the parang.

He said Paul was al­so brought to his busi­ness to view the footage and pos­i­tive­ly iden­ti­fied the woman in the video as Bar­riteau.

Po­lice al­so said they can­not charge Bar­riteau as she nev­er made a miss­ing re­port. They said on­ly if the hus­band knew she was not miss­ing and made a false re­port they could charge him.
