I may get blasted on this site, but ever since the story of her abduction broke, something didn’t sit right with me. It still doesn’t. Her father seemed to be a media hound and the facts didn’t seem to line up. Even when she was found, she was in a position all along to escape.
I don’t believe we have the whole story, IMHO, there was a wllingness or a manipulation for her to go with him.
OK blast away!

You think there might have been manipulation? Huh?

You mean like “If you try to leave or get away, I will kill the rest of your family.”?

Do you think that, and the brutal rape every night, might have scared a 14 year old girl into not wanting to make the psychopath mad?

You mean that kind of manipulation?

It all made sense. She was probably raised in a house where “keeping sweet” was expected. When faced with a psychopath rapist, she fell back on that position for survival.

Why she didn’t escape when she was in a safe position is beyond me but I’ve never been kidnapped.

Hey, I think you might be on to something! I'll bet this was a conspiracy cooked up between the father, the kidnappers, and Elizabeth just like you are insinuating! "Honey, go with this nice man and his lovely wife. Let him do whatever he likes with you...night after night...wander homelessly with them through the wilderness...I know you're only 14...but maybe someday you'll get a job with ABC and it will all be worth it!"

Yeah, genius, they almost had us fooled until you exposed their diabolical plot!
