Such agreements allow defendants to avoid prosecution if they meet certain requirements. Last week, park officials banned Mycoskie from visiting the park in northeastern Wyoming for five years and pay $17,600 under a deferred-prosecution agreement. 'I submitted a false statement, but it was all based on information that I had received.' 'I did, in fact, lie,' Mycoskie told Fox News Digital.
Heather Mycoskie, 40, reported last June that she had seen Cian McLaughlin, 27, of Jackson, the day he disappeared and that he was headed toward Taggart Lake in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, because he planned to jump off his favorite rock in the water.īut the information proved false, and other people told investigators Mycoskie, who was previously married to Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, fabricated the sighting to ensure that search efforts continued, park officials said. The ex-wife of the founder of Toms shoes has admitted intentionally providing wrong information in the search for a missing Irish hiker - but she claimed she did so to reinvigorate the rescue effort - not hinder it.
