Did Miss Puerto Rico lie?
The biggest wardrobe investigation since Monica Lewisky’s blue dress went through the ringer. Authorities investigating allegations that Miss Puerto Rico Ingrid Marie Rivera's dress and makeup were sabotaged with pepper spray during a November 24 pageant in San Juan found no traces of the substance in her belongings. In light of the findings, police say the investigation will now focus on whether anybody provided false statements to police officers –which would be a federal offense. Rivera herself has not provided any statements or information to the police; the initial police complaint was filed by the pageant's security director.
