Michaele Salahi was not removed

Michaele Salahi was kidnapped ... NEVER told police in Virginia ... the assertion that Michael has contacted law enforcement authorities and told them they did not know her husband, where she was.

Warren County Sheriff Dept.
One explanation was one of his deputies spoke with Michael .... and "She seemed calm, was involved in a conversation, and told the deputy she left the residence with a good friend and when she wanted to be."
The WCSD adds, "Ms. Salah noted that she did not want Mr. Salahi to know where it was."

Cops say Michaele expressed that she was "very sad" that had to involve the sheriff's office, but "they did not go home now."

The officers said WCSD contact with Tarek and "told him that he had spoken with Ms.
Salahi and told him that it went well. "
Nevertheless, says the Office of the Warren County Sheriff is working with the FBI "in an attempt to establish an additional contact with Ms. Salahi, to ensure their well-being."

But it is clear Tareq is not convinced - because it was only a tear-filled interview NBC, and said, "I swear to God ... it's not a joke."
