After all it was the mass media who led us on this goose chase, not Jennifer Wilbanks.

That's what the police were saying: the media pressure forced them to devote way more time and resources (hence the large bill) to this "case". That's why it's especially messed up that it was all a hoax.
The least she could do is reimburse the city/taxpayers.
