Woman to be sentenced after staging kidnapping to go to Disney

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.,None — A Pennsylvania woman will be sentenced Thursday after a judge found her guilty of stealing $1 million before staging a kidnapping and flying to Disney World.

Bonnie Sweeten claimed she and her 9-year-old daughter were kidnapped in 2009 when the two were actually visiting Disney World.

Investigators believe she took off because police were closing in on her for swindling her boss and an elderly relative.

Sweeten could face up to 10 years in prison.
