It has, but it's one of the few sparks of hope to be found in the case so it bears repeating. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't see much hope in that statement. What is the abductor going to say, "As soon as I can get you somewhere remote, I'm going to kill you. I can't have any witnesses you see. If I'm caught I'm going to prison for the rest of my life, so I have little to lose by offing you."

"Maybe" Too spooky, I mean what are the other options?
