VANCOUVER, Wash. (CBS/AP/KOIN) Bethany Storro, scarred by acid, told reporters that she wanted to find her assailant and ask: "Why?"

That's the question many would now like to ask Storro, herself.

Storro, the Washington state woman who claimed a random assailant had thrown acid on her face, broke down Thursday, and admitted to police that the "attack" was self-inflicted.

Investigators wouldn't say why the 28-year-old burned herself with acid, but Vancouver Police chief Clifford Cook said Storro was "remorseful" when they spoke with her Thursday morning, after serving a search warrant at her home.

Local authorities began the search for the alleged attacker after Storro claimed an African American woman approached her Aug. 30 outside a Starbucks in downtown Vancouver and asked, "Hey pretty girl, want something to drink?" before she throwing acid in Storro's face.

After the incident, Storro's story received worldwide attention, letters and e-mails swarmed in from around the nation for the supposedly optimistic Vancouver victim. Storro even booked an interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

However, during the course of questioning Storro's tale began to come undone. The police chief cited "several discrepancies" regarding the alleged attack, which led police to search her home Thursday and interview her.

Storro's story shocked Vancouver residents and exhausted the city's small police department. "It's been hundreds of hours," said Vancouver police Commander Marla Schuman regarding the time dedicated to the investigation. "It really took a toll on the department and the resources that we have." Schuman also mentioned detectives were working on a way to return any money donated to Storro.

Cook said any decision to charge Storro with a crime would be up to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, but she could possibly face a charge of filing a false police report, according to Schuman.

Storro's inverview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" has been canceled.

And what pisses me off the most is that she said a black woman did it! Bitch.

Not one penny of public assistance should go to reconstructive surgery. Let her live with that face.

Anyway, this racist bitch can pay for her own surgery.

Co-sign.

This just makes me feel very, very sad for so many reasons. Sad for her....she's obviously very sick if she could do this to herself. And so sad that she had to bring race into it...makes me want to throw up.

I doubt this woman is ill, I believe she did this to get attention. I have no sympathy for her, she tried to use that old racist tactic of blaming an imaginary non-white person in this situation. Fuck her.

Yeah I read that earlier.

Disgusting

It's still an illness to go to such great lengths of getting attention. No one in their right mind would do this to themselves. I undersand what you are saying, and I hope she is punished for what she did to the greatest extent possible.

What's wrong with this woman is that she's another religious nut. As soon as she mentioned Jesus in her first interview the bells went off for me. Seriously! She claimed Jesus intervined and that's why she bought sun glasses just before the "attack".

I agree they better not use any public funds to pay for her surgeries. It's a very sad situation, but she deserves the difficult road ahead.

wow....just wow.

stupid stupid stupid people.

Isn't there another lady who also had acid thrown on her (I think it was in Texas?)

people are insane

I think maybe it's time for another flood

...and attention she received. They will probably make a movie about this nonsense.

And make her pay back every damn penny of city resources used in the investigation. Even if they have to take her to civil court to get it. What a dumb ass. Zero sympathy.

They could certainly charge her with filing a false report - and make her pay restitution. Then she'd have a police record of her own.
