Bethany Storro told police an unknown woman threw acid on her face outside a Starbucks in Vancouver, Wash., causing disfiguring burns. Bethany Storro, 28, had claimed an unknown woman approached her outside a Starbucks in Vancouver, Wash., on Aug. 30. Storro said the woman asked her, "Hey, pretty girl, want something to drink?" then threw acid in her face. Storro suffered disfiguring burns on her face. Police released a composite sketch of the attacker, described as a black woman with a ponytail, but they were unable to find any witnesses who had seen the incident. "During the course of the investigation, several discrepancies began to emerge regarding the alleged attack," Vancouver Police Chief Clifford Cook said today, according to KOMO News. Police served a search warrant at Storro's home this morning and removed several items. They did not say what those items were. After the search, police interviewed Storro again, and they said she admitted she made up the whole thing.

This is a police sketch of the woman who Storro said threw acid on her face."She is extremely upset and very remorseful," Cook said, according to The Columbian newspaper, which first raised suspicions about her story. "In many ways, this just got bigger than she expected."Police said they did not know a motive for the hoax.Clark County Senior Deputy Prosecutor John Fairgrieve told The Columbian his office would review the case. He said Storro could face charges of making a false or misleading statement to police, which is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Fairgrieve said prosecutors would take into account Storro's mental health before making any decision on charges.Reports of the attack made national headlines, and Storro made several media appearances. She had been scheduled to go on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" but canceled the appearance.
