A kidnapping for ransom plot "masterminded"--I use the term loosely--by these clowns would not have had Ricci in the role of abductor, because E. would have identified him after her release. And recently, Dinse conveyed his belief that Ricci was not necessarily the abductor, but is still involved. Now I'm on a roll of wild speculation, but I propose that the white Jeep therefore was NOT the getaway car, because E. would have identified that as well. LE seemingly has not found convincing forensic evidence in it, I think.

You make a very good point - one I haven't seen expressed herein i.e. Ricci and the Jeep could be identified by ES. Makes me wonder why Ricci would have newspapers on the floor of the Jeep and would bother to remove the seat covers, etc. That would lead me to conclude that he used the jeep to meet his accomplices somewhere. He would also need a drop point for his other car, etc. It is also possible that they considered her expendable.

That's an extremely interesting theory.

Is is possible (just to air an alternate theory), that if Ricci is not the alleged abductor, he still may have realized his vehicle contained items that might seem incriminating and thought it best to remove them.

Believe me, I don't think this guy is anyone to stand up for, but a child kidnapping MO just doesn't fit his criminal history.
