In Grandview, West Virginia, police arrested married couple Julie and Rodney Wheeler on multiple charges including conspiracy and giving false information to West Virginia State Police.
It seems the couple faked Julie's disappearance in an attempt to keep her from going to prison. They pretended she plummeted from an overlook at the New River Gorge National River, National Park, and she was reported missing Sunday by her husband and 17-year-old son.
Authorities searched for her for days but ultimately found her Tuesday "alive and well" hiding in a closet in her home.
Rodney Wheeler and his son planted items at the Grandview Overlook to fake Julie Wheeler's disappearance. It's unclear whether the son will face criminal charges.
Julie Wheeler pleaded guilty to federal health care fraud in February after an investigation into "pill mill" clinic operations. She'll be sentenced for that charge on June 17. And then there are all these new charges.
