Deputies: Cheating husband's faked kidnapping leads to manhunt

**Jason** · 08-27-2009, 02:35 PM

TAMPA - Wikler Moran-Mora texted his wife to say he had been kidnapped and wouldn't be let go until he gave his captors money.

His worried wife called law enforcement.

He texted her again, saying, "Don't call, take it easy, they said they will let me go," and "Everything is alright, I'll be home soon," a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office report states.

After a full-scale manhunt, deputies tracked him down. Turns out, it was a hoax – Moran-Mora faked his kidnapping so he could cheat on his wife, sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway said.

The incident began shortly after midnight Wednesday. About 6 a.m. Wednesday, Moran-Mora, 38, of Tampa, was arrested and charged with giving a false report to law enforcement. He has been released on $500 bail.

Twenty deputies — including canine units — searched for Moran-Mora on Wednesday morning.

Instead of the last name Moran he should be named MORON.

I guess I was lucky living in St. Pete 'cause all the weirdos are in Tampa!
