We have gone over every tidbit we could find about this case with a fine-toothed comb. The collective reasoning on these threads has always been, IMO, weak, when it comes to the answer to (especially) your first two questions.

Speaking for myself alone, I can't for the life of me figure out what the real reason was for someone taking this girl.

I have simply tried to consider the USUAL reasons for such a crime or incident: 1. some sort of sexual lust; 2. ransom; 3. revenge; 4. eliminate witness (if she woke up and saw a burglar in action); 5. she ran away, or sneaked out for what she thought would be a short time, but met with foul play (not likely, in my mind, I think she'd be too scared or passive or obedient to do that.)

In a different era, we might also be speculating that the poor girl died during a botched abortion. Nowadays, of course, she would live through the abortion--it would only be her soul that died (and I don't think dead souls are within the purview of the police.)
