The night before she was due to be sentenced she went on the run and has been on the lam for the past two years.
"I was very surprised," her ex-husband, identified by 3 News only as 'Ralph,' told the station. "I thought we had a better system of keeping track and holding people responsible."
"I had been getting sick awhile back. Like six to eight months. I got stomach cramps."
Ralph told the station that his wife's erratic behavior wasn't just aimed at him: "She did reveal to me a story where she was a flight attendant at one time, and she had a customer - you know a passenger who was she said was unruly,' he told the station. "She actually put sedatives in her drink.'
Law enforcement officials believe Hemming is hiding in Mexico.
If she is ever caught, she could face up to 15 years in prison.
