Police: Washington State Woman Made Up Acid Attack Story

Remember I had told you guys about a lady named Bethany Storro who was allegedly attacked by an African American woman with acid? Well it turns out that Storro had poured the acid on HERSELF.

Seventeen days after she was “attacked”, Bethany confessed that her injuries were self-inflicted and that the events described before were made-up. She said that she had actually bought drain cleaner and went to a public restroom where she used gloves and towels to apply the drain cleaner to her face. She did not confess why she did it, and her parents said that even they had not sensed any kind of trouble before the incident. The Vancouver police had spent hundreds of hours looking for the suspect, who was described by Storro to be an African American woman, only to find out that their time had been wasted. The community of Vancouver had also united and raised donations for Bethany’s medical expenses. They had raised around $25,000 for Bethany which she used later to buy things such as clothes, dinners, and train tickets. She is now being charged with three counts of 2nd degree theft. Even though her motive is not yet known, I believe that her motive was obviously to quickly gain some money.

At first, I had felt sorry for Bethany Storro when I read the article describing her being attacked. Now I think she is simply PATHETIC. Yes, it is sad that you have to pour acid on yourself to get some money from donations, but haven’t you ever heard of a JOB? I mean come on, there are many other options available in order to earn some money. Leeching off other people’s sympathy is just sick. I don’t have any sympathy at all for Bethany. In fact, I have more sympathy for the people who donated their money than I have towards Bethany. She clearly had planned it out and she ended up getting what she deserved. Oh yeah and on top of all that, there is a high possibility that she could have inspired the crazy person who had ACTUALLY attacked a woman in Arizona with acid. Bethany Storro is just one example of the many sick people in our world.


What do you guys think?

  1. Nice follow-up Marcel! This is unbelievable, really. I remember when I originally read your story that I was confused, I was asking myself "huh?" but then again it is a "sick, sad world" out there. And I agree with you - one certainly does feel sorry for the people who donated to her in the belief that they were helping a person in need. Just wow!

  2. True that Mr. Parra and Marcel, that woman should be put in a nut house because she indeed is crazy. Also, why would someone do that? I mean that why would she do that, Hey Bethany, there's a thing called a job can you get one? Long story short, nice article Marcel. Later.
