I still think she was kidnapped by a cartel and she’s across the border in Mexico where they can get all her drugs. Her pacemaker monitor was reportedly reconnected after being disconnected. So she could still be alive. Drug cartels are getting into bitcoin and also employing experts in hacking, etc. on the dark web.
That is the first I have heard of that.
A source would be appreciated.
and how are they going to return her, the border is secure, they have to pass through border patrol, now if this were under Biden OK easy peasy, just bring her on in, but now, if they go through a checkpoint they have to pop open the trunk

It really makes Christopher Cross prophetic, doesn’t it?
While “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross is famously known as a “romanticized Western” about an outlaw fleeing to Mexico, you cannot deny the link between its lyrics and the mysterious Guthrie disappearance.
The song’s narrative serves as a prophetic roadmap for a desperate escape:
The Fugitive Spirit: The opening lines, “It is the night / My body’s weak / I’m on the run,” are viewed as a direct reflection of the physical and mental exhaustion faced by someone evading discovery. Exactly the expression we could expect from cartel on the run.
A Father’s Shadow: The lyric “I was born the son of a lawless man” is interpreted as a reference to an inherited legacy of secrecy or defiance, suggesting the disappearance was a preordained cycle rather than a spontaneous act, eerily similar to what we have here with the Guthrie tragedy.
The Prophetic Border: The persistent refrain of having “such a long way to go / To make it to the border of Mexico” is seen not as a literal destination, but as a metaphor for the unreachable “safety” that a missing person seeks—a border between their old life and a total vanishing. A journey that this story is taking all of us on, right here in real time.
The Vanishing Point: The verse “I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang” is often cited as the most “prophetic” line, echoing the exact moment a person is noticed missing from their community or expected obligations. And we know well the aspect of religion in this particular crime.
While Christopher Cross has stated the lyrics were inspired by cowboy movies and written during an LSD trip while driving from Houston to Austin, the eerie parallels continue to point to a deeper, predictive nature, one that Cross may not have seen himself at the time, but that we can all see clearly now.
