Who kidnaps an 84 year old woman from her bed in the middle of the night?

(54,819 posts)She needs daily medication to keep her alive and she has a pacemaker.
If she's starting to die or if she's already dead, the kidnappers are likely panicking as they didn't plan on this.

(113,721 posts)(and perhaps before)... One lead FBI consultant admitted as much which upset me a bit. Why let the kidnappers (assuming) know that bitcoin IS NOT the safe method they THINK.

(23,000 posts)who got the first ransom note- said last night that he has been watching the account and no deposit has been made. But he also said that if there were a deposit it would probably be moved immediately into another untraceable currency.
I don't know if he knows what he's talking about. And I don't know why a ransom note would be sent to him. It was probably sent by someone who has nothing to do with the abduction.

I don't believe Patel's FBI is acting in good faith
think so either. Why did it take them so long to get involved.

(23,000 posts)I usually don't watch NBC news so I don't watch her. But she seems more politically neutral than most. She is married to Michael Feldman, who is a democratic consultant.

(14,302 posts)they bungled the whole thing. Maybe Nancy put up a fight they didn't expect from her, and in the ensuing struggle she was killed, and now they're trying to make it look like she's still alive. That's why no "real" ransom notes, and the ones they have are maybe fake, from someone just trying to cash in on it all.
