No, something happened, however 'it' didn't.
Maybe her SO beat her, maybe she was in a car accident. 'It' as was described did not happen. Do you really think you would not hear a peep from the media about 'it'? Considering we hear about microwaved cats in AB, frozen babies in SK and even snowstorms in Halifax, do you really think this story, or anything remotely close to it would slip under the media's radar? Do you really think the police would let it slip by? Hell no! Tim Fanning would be on the podium, pounding his chest and announcing "We dropped the ball with Picton, but check this shit out, 3 arrests in 2 days for one hooker's double rape and robbery,we ROCK"...okay, he wouldn't put it in those terms, but you get the point.
Nadia is in dire financial straits, and was long before whatever happened to her happened. Why she felt the need to lie, I don't know. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.
