Police say Wash. acid attack self-inflicted
VANCOUVER, Wash. (BostonHerald.com) — When the initial shock faded, police in this suburb of Portland, Ore., began to question some details in Bethany Storro’s account of the day her face was irreparably burned by acid.
Why, they asked, did the burn patterns of the acid not reflect Storro’s account of a stranger tossing it in her face? Why was she wearing sunglasses — something she said she never did — just after 7 p.m. on Aug. 30?
And why did no one see the alleged assailant?
Those questions culminated in a search warrant served at Storro’s house on Thursday, when she admitted that she fabricated the story of a stranger’s attack. Instead, she said, she did it to herself.
