One of many strange things is, were this my mother, all news access would be cut off immediately! Why are apparent ‘ransom notes’ and family dialog with the kidnappers being broadcast during each news cycle?
Just today, network host Gayle King expressed sympathy for the family. That’s nice, but...
No one on that network should be saying anything about the case, except for one unified expression of sympathy. No one should be hypothesizing or speculating on such a serious and tenuous matter.
Have they ever received any ‘proof of life’ from these abductors yet? I don’t think they have.
A very elderly woman, with many physical ailments, having been scared out of her mind for over a week, one would not expect her to last very long unless the kidnappers wanted to keep her alive.
Sending the ransom request to TMZ (of all places) was done with the desire and expectation that it would blow up in the way it has.
