I am the first to admit that I am somewhat naive. I consider myself an honest person, but if my furbaby (I don't have kids) went missing, I would consider saying he needs medication in an attempt to make his case more urgent. I would probably feel super guilty for the lie, but it does seem to make people more proactive with searching. I think part of me is just hoping that if it is a lie, it was done for an innocent reason. I am often wrong. Keep in mind that until I saw the actual trial of Casey Anthony, I kept holding onto the hope that the little girl died accidentally and that she was too distraught to admit it. When I saw her cold, calculative demeanor documented in the trial, I finally realized she was a sociopath and I was a fool. :/
