Police said Thursday that a Washington woman who claimed a stranger threw acid on her in a random attack has now admitted the story was fabricated and she caused the acid burns herself, The Oregonian reported.
Bethany Storro, 28, suffered severe burns to her face in the August 30 incident in Vancouver, Wa. about 10 miles (16km) north of Portland, Ore.
She had told police she was on her way to buy a cup of coffee when a woman approached her and said "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" before throwing some kind of liquid in her face.
Doctors said the liquid was acid with the strength of sulfuric or hydrochloric acid.
Storro claimed a good Samaritan came to her aid and she told police the woman was African American and aged in her late 20s.
But police said Thursday that while investigating the incident "discrepancies emerged" in Storro's story.
The acid burns appeared to be more consistent with having been rubbed on rather than being thrown on her face.
When searching Storro's home Thursday, she admitted she had made up the story.
Vancouver Police Commander Marla Schuman said authorities did not know what Storro's motivation was.
"She's got a fragile mental state at this point," Schuman said.
Earlier this week, Storro canceled a planned appearance on daytime talk show "Oprah."

What an awful story. Apparently, she claimed a black lady threw acid on her, prompting so many angry comments on the newspaper story that they had to shut it down. Granted, she is clearly a mental case but you hate to see not only the damage she did to herself, but the potential damage she did by making up a story that would place black people in a bad light. Sadly, we've seen that, before, with these mentally ill people who fake attacks for attention. Most don't carry it this far. I feel terrible for her parents and hope she gets the help she needs.
