Remember that story from Australia a while ago about the guy who strapped a fake bomb to a schoolgirl’s neck? They caught him on Monday in his home in America following a short but intensive investigation spanning two continents. Turns out he literally flew from America to Australia and back again to execute this prank. No, seriously. There is no spice here.
Police have confirmed that the device attached to terrified Australian schoolgirl Madeleine Pulver was not a bomb, just a tremendously elaborate hoax. The device, attached to the girl by a masked intruder in her parent’s home, “gave the appearance of a legitimate improvised explosive device.”
