Genies Under Investigation

[Arcade22]

A Yemeni girl has been missing for nearly a month in Saudi Arabia and her family believe she could have been snatched by jinn (genies), a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The 23-year-old girl stepped out of her house in a mountainous village near the western town of Taif and never returned, prompting a massive police search campaign, Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“Some people told police they saw her walking on a hill not far from her house then vanished again,” the paper said.

Wow, I wish I'd could have been kidnapped by a genie. I remember when I was 12 watching "I Dream of Genie" and coming up with a lot better wishes than that stupid astronaut thought up.

I Dream of Jeannie immediately came to mind for me too. I was thinking that Jeannie caused a lot of mischief in Cocoa Beach, and was due for a more thorough investigation than the hapless Dr. Bellows could mount. Perhaps if Gladys Kravitz was on the job...
