Hey, when you find out that someone you trusted is a baldface LIAR, you tend to pick some of their previous nonsense apart, too. 

Fer instance:  "....I was a hippie wanderer, traveling overland to India....."

Is she travelling "overland TO india" from the U.S. ?  Sound a bit fishy (pun intended) to you?  It certainly does to me. 

Joan...... there is no land bridge from the U.S. to the near, far or middle east (or anywhere in between).  Musta been smokin' somthing really good, huh?

On a more serious note, the difference between those two accounts says nothing if it doesn't SCREAM LIAR!
