She then deactivated them and disappeared. Recently, however, she has returned to social media with photos of herself on a luxury vacation in Bali, the Sun reported:<\/p>\n<p>Adriana was apparently seen next in the Indonesian island of Bali posting images of herself flaunting her luxury lifestyle, according to the news site Tribun Medan.<\/p>\n<p>Victims took to Instagram to once again raise the subject of the alleged scam and called on her to return the missing cash to them.<\/p>\n<p>They raised the issue of the influencer appearing to have travelled to Bali, where new images show the woman showing off her lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Police in Medan did not comment on whether they knew where she was.<\/p>\n<p>Adriana was apparently not charged with any crimes, the outlet noted, since the investigation was still ongoing when she fled to Bali. That investigation continues.<\/p>\n<p>Adriana is not the only influencer in trouble with the law. As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-instagram-influencer-accuses-latino-couple-of-trying-to-kidnap-her-children-police-find-no-evidence-to-support-her-claims\">reported<\/a>, a white Instagram influencer in California accused a Latino couple of following her around a Michael\u2019s craft store, making comments about her young children, and even trying to grab her stroller.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/california-police-mom-influencer-kidnap-latino\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that Katie Sorensen, who is white, accused Sadie and Eddie Martinez of trying to kidnap her children from the craft store. Sorensen regularly posts on social media about her kids, and her allegations ended up pushing her number of followers on Instagram from 6,000 to more than 80,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice said she reported that she was followed by a couple as she pushed\u00a0her children in a stroller through a parking lot outside the store,\u201d Fox reported. \u201cShe said the pair made comments about the appearance of the children and lingered near her vehicle as she placed them\u00a0inside. At the time, Sorensen said she didn\u2019t want anyone arrested, but\u00a0instead wanted to draw attention to the couple\u2019s behavior, police said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sorensen posted a video on social media a week after the alleged incident where she \u201cincluded information that had not been initially presented\u201d to police, the PPD said.<\/p>\n<p>Sorensen also talked to KTVU-TV about the alleged incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw these people, they didn\u2019t look necessarily clean-cut,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI felt uncomfortable around them, and instead of making them uncomfortable with my discomfort, I chose to remain in my discomfort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She claimed the man had looked at her when she was outside the store, and that he and his wife followed her around the store and were describing her children to someone while on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard them talking about the features of my children, but I was totally paralyzed with fear,\u201d Sorensen told the outlet. \u201cI just couldn\u2019t bring myself to say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She claimed the couple followed her around the store and stood behind her in line even though they didn\u2019t buy anything, and then followed her through the parking lot to her SUV. She said there was a white van parked next to her vehicle, which was far from the store. She claimed the couple took a few steps toward her but then stepped back, saying the only explanation for this was that they \u201cwere just building the courage\u201d for the kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>Sorensen claimed the man reached for the stroller, but an older man was nearby, \u201csaw what was going on, and I just yelled for help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police found no evidence to support Sorensen\u2019s claim, and she now faces two misdemeanor counts for her alleged lies to police, The Daily Beast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/sonoma-influencer-katie-sorensen-charged-with-false-kidnap-claim-against-latino-couple-eduardo-sadie-martinez\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
