Found this comment after the article:
“2013 Nisan Versa has a factory installed VTRS (Vehicle Tracking Recovery System ) that can not be disabled without removing the motor. Dealer, Lender protection. That’s how they located the car. Then they sent in the Horseman one is an Ex Sheriff the other a Back Country Guide to scope out the situation and location. Why they insist it is because of the public, the Amber Alert, and the Media that she is alive today I have no idea....”
