It appears the parents are loaded. I'm still thinking her fiance was in on it or at least suspected something. Possible ransom shakedown of the parents? It just got so big they decided to call it off? The cops are apparently saying there aren't going to be any criminal charges. This is a tactic they usually use so the perps don't suspect the cops are still suspicious.
I agree with you.

I don't know if he was in on it...but I bet she gave him a few clues of her plans before she took off.....example...*why can't we just run off to get married....etc
