Still though am going with the police on this one. He’s going to pretend to be a missionary. He likes power and control as a missionary he will have this, a captive audience just like when he was a “teacher”. Plus Mexico is more Catholic country not Islamic.
If the police say they are in Mexico, it only means one thing and that is, they are not in Mexico.
They float the Mexico theory and the perp comes out of his cabin in Kentucky for a breath of fresh air and a bottle of Boone’s Farm for the girl.
That’s when they nab him.
