A Florida teenager, who was reported missing and was feared to have been kidnapped by “four Hispanic men,” actually faked the entire abduction, and even shot himself in the leg as part of the unbelievably elaborate hoax, according to NY Post. This is awful for everyone who spent time searching for him.
The whole thing started last Thursday in Dunnellon, north of Tampa, when 17-year-old Caden Speight suddenly vanished. The initial concern was high; law enforcement thought he might have been shot, and authorities uncovered his abandoned car with evidence of a single gunshot nearby. Speight was reported to be wearing a MAGA hat at the time, and the story going around was that he was last seen in a light-colored van with four unidentified men, details he had actually texted to his family.
