er........That's not something you usually do AFTER you kidnap somebody, is it? You'd think that would be the plan from the beginning.

Of course, not being of the criminal mind...

[television is just wrong]

he took a lie detector test, and was not suspected by authorities.

[kcvl]

And they were "thinking" about asking for a ransom -- like as an after the fact thing? Wow, that's not something you usually do you take somebody, is it?

I think maybe they heard about the $100,000 reward. Someone said earlier during an interview that if anyone had any information on her abductors that the reward money was still out there for them. That could be why they got so scared and let her go.

I saw that! I'm sure Sean will be very happy to speak with him.

This is a really nice family it seems.

[Crazieman]

It has been pretty well established that most crooks are morons.

[Selkie]

True.
Particularly in case she has been sexually assaulted.

[Howlin]

and was not suspected by authorities.

They NEVER said that though. IMO, they left him hanging out there.

[Lazamataz]

Well, I take back all my unvoiced suspicions about her fiance.

And I take back the police investigation, the 30 second radio spot identifying him as the killer, and the billboards with his picture and the caption: "When you're cold-blooded and you just killed your fiance, where can you get a burger and fries that will SATISFY?"

[TASMANIANRED]

Janet can't jog, she has to bobble along.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I guess we'll all be seeing this play out in the news coverage.

[Carolinamom]

CNN reporterette just managed to give 2 different versions in the same sentence......that "she managed to escape" and "they let her go."

[texasflower]

I sure agree with you about Neil. He really is quite good.

Greta has been able to make real connections with so many of these people that are going through hard, terrifying times.

She must be very comforting off camera. They all seem to really like her.

I'll be paying more attention to her from now on.

It has been pretty well established that most crooks are morons.

Snott Peterson thought he could get away with it.

I just checked back and it was patriciaruth who said hyperthyroid can make you nuts, so sorry for directing the comment at you!

[Nita Nupress]

Guy on MSNBC says that she either was watched and kidnapped or they saw her as a victim of opportunity.

LOL! Gee. Ya think?

What a friggin' genius for narrowing it down so well. ;-)

[onyx]

WTH?
Get on messenger and tell me the details so I can go back to sleep!

[Lazamataz]

I'm a physician is why I notice these things.

But you have a female screen name, and EVERYBODY knows that women can't be doctors. Too emotional, and their minds are built for recipes and cleaning, not saving lives.

[oceanperch]

Can go either way hyper or hypo as symptoms can cross over.

I had my thyroid removed as it was thoroughly diseased.

So now for 20 yrs I have taken synthroid and my body does eats it up so my dose is at 3.00. Which is very high as the low end dose is .25 and goes up in 1/4 doses.

And yes I am personally an expert on my case.

[BigCinBigD]

How do they know he's a twit?

J/K Thank God for the happy ending.

[kcvl]

lol!

Maybe they were on drugs when they decided to kidnap her. Obviously, they aren't brain surgeons to kidnap someone in the first place. lol!
