Woman regrets prompting costly missing-person search

Ann Solanki, 24, left her Chicago area home with a male friend on Christmas Eve hoping for a new life in California. She later learned her disappearance spurred a $250,000 search by authorities over fears she drowned in the Des Plaines River. She told investigators she did not intend to deceive anyone and expressed embarrassment. Police consider possible charges for deception, though officials note it may not be a crime to mislead family. The Honda Civic she drove was left with doors open and keys inside. The couple, born in Gujarat, married in 2006.
