VANCOUVER, Wash. — Police in Washington state say their investigation of the woman who burned her face with acid and then reported she’d been attacked is nearly finished – but they still can’t explain her motive.

A Vancouver police spokeswoman said Friday that Bethany Storro has offered no explanation for her self-inflicted injuries and lie, and investigators haven’t developed one, beyond saying she was emotionally fragile.

On Aug. 30, Storro told police a woman approached her outside a coffee shop and tossed acid in her face. Storro later confessed under questioning that the burns were self-inflicted.

Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp says police will soon turn the case over to prosecutors.

Police say she could be charged with filing a false report.
