She's a Flight Risk

She's a Flight Risk: "On March 2, 2003 at 4:12 pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v., but it's not. I'm twentysomething and I am an international fugitive."

I heard about this site last year when I read the Wired article about it, but I hadn't gotten around to reading it until yesterday. I got totally sucked in, and read the whole thing in two sittings. It's very entertaining. Short version: heiress runs to escape arranged marriage; launders money, flees private security forces, hangs out with smugglers, blogs.

I started with About the Author then went on to entry #1.

This Esquire article about her gets interesting on page 3 (after he stops cut-and-pasting chat logs and actually arranges an interview.) Warning, the article contains some spoilers, so read the blog first.
