Two things about that story.
One is obvious, since the ‘suspect’ seems to be a Sheikh of the burning sands, they do seem to me to be be pretty sexually frusterated.
Second is probably as obvious, since the Stasi (FBI) is involved, I cannot help but wonder if maybe they are stealing the glory from the local PD or Sheriff’s office because this is not a political or speech crime.
Feebs are involved because it's a kidnapping and crossed state lines.
