Why would they cut her hair and that is all. For her DNA? This sounds ODD!
It does sound like when you kidnap the bride and it went wrong.
To make her unrecognizable?
Cutting her hair would disguise what she looked like. I hope that was all that was done to her.
I'm just glad for her family's sake that she has been found. There's plenty of time to get to the bottom of it all.
