husband was on phone-in to nancy grace tonight. very glib, an answer for everything. what i found most interesting came at end of program, Sheriff says nobody has seen her outside of family for days, even before disappearance. which takes me right back to were those children coached? how long has she really been gone?
Investigators have interviewed the couple's two oldest children. Sheriff Millsap said both children are traumatized by their mother's disappearance. He said they have not received any conflicting information from family members.
Bartow County Sheriff Clark Millsap told the AJC Thursday there are "new developments" in the case of the 30-year-old mother of five who's been missing since Friday.
Millsap would not comment on rumors that Wazineh Suleiman has been found, and said he'd issue a press release in the next two to three hours.
"We had some new developments overnight, we're running down all those, and then we'll release the information," Millsap said. "It's very pertinent to this case."
Suleiman's husband, Abed Suleiman, was questioned for three hours late Wednesday. He emerged to say authorities "wanted to totally rule me out" as a suspect.
"They just wanted to iron out all the wrinkles and they did that," Abed Suleiman told Channel 2 Action News.
The 30-year-old mother of five who'd been missing since last Friday has been found "alive and well," Bartow County Sheriff Clark Millsap said.
Millsap declined to say where the mother of five was located Thursday morning.
"She is at an unsdisclosed location at her request," Millsap told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "My investigators are interviewing her at this time. We're NEWSPAPER ERRORS---> gpomg fitjer wotj tje case to be sure no crimes were committed."
Millsap said he would not release any other details. That's her business why she left. That's her business why she was gone," the sheriff said.
even if she had good reason to leave home, this was a crappy thing to do to her family and children. wait a week and it's national news! parents fly in sick with worry from Middle East. a vigil. and it was a third party who reported where she was, not her.

Yup. And it was the taxpayer's money that was used for resources in tracking this wandering nomad.
I'm glad she's alive.
Now hubby has a reason to beat her. And take her kids away.
i am pissed off she gets a pass. she should be charged and prosecuted like the "runaway bride". for all the expenses incurred searching for her ass. add the damages to her fucking bankruptcy bill.
I am on my phone and can't cut and paste the article but check out the update to this case on AJC.com. The wife has reunited with husband and he is soliciting on air interviews to talk about their wonderful marriage.
thanks Nina...
Ray Charles could have seen this coming!

Abed Suleiman said Tuesday that he and his wife are back together again and “happier than ever” and he wants to dispel all the false stories about why she disappeared for almost a week.
SEE: BALLOON BOY.
The 30-year-old mother of five was found last Thursday, but neither her family nor the Bartow County sheriff, whose office was leading the search for her, would say where Wazineh Suleiman had been since leaving her children at home, alone, watching television while she supposedly went to Walmart to rent a video.
Abed Suleiman began contacting media outlets Tuesday morning, inviting them to face-to-face interviews later in the day. $$$$$$$$$$ The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is scheduled to meet with the Suleiman's Tuesday afternoon.
“Wazineh and I need to get a message out there!” Abed Suleiman said in the emailed invitation.$$$$$$$$$$$$
The husband reported his wife missing when he returned home from an aborted hunting trip about 10 minutes after she left the evening of April 8. Their five children -- between the ages of 6 and 12 – were at home.
In the following days there was speculation that Abed Suleiman had harmed her or that Wazineh Suleiman had been kidnapped.
The mystery deepened when her parked car was found abandoned at a vacant business near I-75 in Cherokee County a few days after she was reported missing.
That was fueled by reports that they had financial troubles. According to documents filed in U.S. bankruptcy court, the Suleimans owed more than $1.2 million when they filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in August. The couple, with more than $150,000 in credit card debt, was forced to surrender most of their assets, including rental property in Florida. The couple kept their Law Road home and a 2009 Toyota Tacoma.
Wazineh Suleiman answered a phone call placed Tuesday morning in response to the email but the husband got on the phone to explain what they wanted to say to reporters.
“We want people out there to understand how things work,” Abed Suleiman told the AJC.
He said they wanted to talk about “life, family and marriage” and to address the questions raised by the “pessimists. Don’t believe all that. Just have faith in God and look at all the positives. Everything is in God’s plan and everything happens for a reason.”
Abed Suleiman said he and his wife will discuss “everything. Nothing will be held back.” They will talk about their lives growing up, “our religion and our culture," Abed Suleiman said.
“Things will be pulled out of context if I don’t tell you how we were raised,” he said. “I’m not doing anything over the phone ... This [his wife’s disappearance] could have went many different ways. There are so many outcomes. People started assuming the worst: I murdered her, I abused her, she ran off with another man.”
But “first and foremost,” Abed Suleiman said, “she’s here. She’s back because she wants to be. We’re happier than ever. We’re looking at this as a lesson, an eye-opener.”

Her husband, Abed Sulieman, read statements from his wife during a press conference on Tuesday.
Wazineh Suleiman and Abed Sulieman had an arranged marriage. They met and fell in love at 17 and 18-years-old in Jerusalem. They were engaged in a month, and married in two.
Friday she originally lied to him and said she was sleeping, but he was home and knew she wasn't there. It’s a big no-no in the culture that you don't lie to a spouse. She was worried she'd be in trouble because she lied.
Abed Sulieman told her in a text message that he would kill her, didn't mean it. He told police that.
When she left on Friday, she had no intention to leave but after he realized she lied she felt he would never trust him again and everything was blown out of proportion.
She slept in truck where it was found the first night, Then she called a friend. Police took her to a shelter since Sat morning in Cobb County.
She told officer she was afraid and had nowhere to go. She felt like she had done a huge dishonor and disgrace to her family. She felt like she was as good as dead to family. But she came back because she wanted to.
The older Suleiman kids knew mom needed time away. Little ones thought she was out shopping. Abed Sulieman thinks this was God’s plan.
Wazineh Suleiman wants to let ladies know to communicate with spouses and be open and don't resort to lying.
Abed Sulieman admits that he pushed his wife in past (10 yrs ago) but he's never punched her. Said he hasn't touched her that way in years.
What a waste of time, effort, concern and resources. I hope the media outlets aren't paying for these interviews. If they are, I hope people don't watch them.
The statement analysis blog was referenced in another thread about a different case. LC had posted that she wasn't sure of the blogger or his credentials. With some digging, his name is Peter Hyatt and he is purportedly "a Statement Analyst by profession, lives in Maine, and works with the FBI and LE all over the country. He also teaches statement Analysis to LE." While you can search and find plenty of links to radio interviews he has done in this capacity, I can't find any backing his LE credentials.
Mark McClish, however, is the real deal and specializes in statement analysis. He is a retired Deputy United States Marshal with 26 years of federal law enforcement experience. His website is here: http://www.statementanalysis.com/
Statement Analysis is the process of examining a person's words to determine exactly what the person is saying. This includes determining if the person is being truthful or deceptive, discovering additional information within the statement, and seeing if the person is withholding any information. Statement Analysis is based on three things:
1. Word Definitions
2. Rules of Grammar
3. Research and Observations
In a blog interview that has been quoted but is no longer available on the net:
People’s words will betray them. Therefore, the techniques will work with anyone who has the ability to communicate. However, if the person has poor grammar skills then some of the techniques may be difficult to use. For example, the person may use present tense verbs instead of past tense verbs not because he is being deceptive but because he does not know how to speak proper English. We have to take this into consideration when analyzing a statement. Other techniques will still work no matter what their educational level or background is.
ICB: I know that word order and certain phrases can be indicators of deception. How do issues like regional dialects and suspects who speak English as a second language change the statement analyst’s approach to an interview?
MM: The approach in obtaining information should be the same. However, when analyzing the statement we have to consider regional dialects or if English is not the subject’s first language. The person may use a phrase that is unfamiliar to the interviewer. The interviewer will then need to ask additional questions to clarify what the person said. If English is the subject’s second language, this may cause him to use the wrong pronouns. An interviewer needs to recognize this and look for other signs of deception or truthfulness.
Both gentlemen cover a number of cases discussed here at Mock. Interesting reads.
