I'm Having Questions As To How The Kidnappers Get Nancy Back To The Family.....

Once the ransom is paid?

With surveillance devices all over the place - how do the kidnappers avoid all of the.

You can't just leave Nancy in the middle of the woods at night; or in the middle of a suburban mall.

How do the kidnappers not get ID'd
In the process?

I imagine there are ways - but I can't think of any.

the ability to pay a ransom is gone? I just don't see how any transfer can occur safely. I think this puts the kidnappers in a situation where they don't have many options, or any? I hope I am wrong but can't see how it could be otherwise.

I hope I am wrong. ☮

Not so much in the US, but kidnapping for ransom is common in Mexico and other places.

Law enforcement doesn't prevent people from paying ransoms if they want to.

them to be identified, tracked and caught.

Also - let's say they drop her off in the woods around her house. I read where there are animals around. She might get hurt. That's risky for the kidnappers if something happens to her in the process.

I rewatched the latest video by the Guthrie family and it almost appears that they are begging for the return of a body. I hope that's not the case. This family has been through so much. Seeing their pain is gut wrenching.

It's amazing to me that as the OP indicates ("surveillance devices all over the place&quot that the police don't have more leads. Either the kidnappers have been extremely lucky, or they are extremely skilled at grabbing someone.

At this point I do not really care about these entitled a-holes. Sounds like they are MAGA if Trump likes them.
