This is just awful. It’s heartbreaking to see a human life being used like this for any kind of ransom. I really hope she gets home safe and sound as soon as possible. No one should have to go through this.

Last time I checked on this, the lead theory was that she is already dead.
Have there been any updates to suggest otherwise?
This is so fucked up, seems so random and odd

This is an absolute travesty. However if they were asking for cash would we be blaming the bag of cash?
