Hinton had left for Florida after the identity theft warrant was issued, but the police had a tip that she would be returning for her wedding.

She did not turn up the following Monday for her arraignment, and was then reported as the "Runaway Bride". A judge issued a new warrant and set bond at $100,000.

William Lawrence's guns were seized during a police visit which was a response from a neighbor's complaint. He made repeated requests for the guns to be returned, to no avail.

A policeman from another town reported seeing the ad, and it was discovered that the ad was placed from Lawrence's home.
