To clarify, I was referring to a sizable percentage of people in reference to the public at large. I chose to come to WS due to it's moderation policies, reputation and verification process. We all want to solve this case as do KP and SP and family, as well as LE.
I guess you'll have to elaborate. How would the anonymous donor be a key? What do you mean by random chance?I'm beginning to feel the anonymous donor is the key to this case. I don't think the timing was random chance.

Imo.
They let SP go.
Why?
Especially if these were traffickers that kill women at any given time?
So imo. Leaving her alive would catch the syndicate that runs the business.
So why would a big sex ring allow her to tell the tale after 22 days held captive?
While we can all speculate on the amount of time she should have spent in the hospital, I think we can all agree if we were in that situation we would all want to be released as soon as reasonably possible (after treatment, giving statements to LE and evidence collection) in order to return home to our loved ones.

And there is nothing that has implied she hasn't gotten treatment elsewhere. I didn't say she had life threatening injuries. She was released from that particular hospital where the media, and everybody else knew she had been held.
Maybe she needed privacy. Maybe she wanted at home care. It's not our business. And it's not right to state as fact that she hasn't gotten care elsewhere, because we don't know what kind of care she has gotten, physically or psychologically.
It seems surprising that SP would have the wherewithal to leave a "clue" for KP with her hair if taken at gunpoint...unless there was already some threat on their lives and KP finding her phone "confirmed" for him she had been taken when she didn't pick up the kids, no one was home, etc. Aside for ST being my first theory, my second theory is a target abduction to send a message to someone within the family (as others here have discussed).
Why suddenly go the abduction route when you can't find a spouse? My husband would first think injury on a run; or that I am with family members and got held up somewhere, etc. I mean abduction would be the LAST scenario for a cute little family of 4, living in the white suburbs, SAHM, etc. Unless there was an already existing threat, so SP had the wherewithal to leave her husband a clue...
Lake: do you think she sent the text about whether he was going back home for lunch?
Something that caught my ear in one interview negotiator Gamble describes his negotiating tactic as a test. Thinking outside of the box because that's all I've got left. Could this kidnapping been orchestrated by Gamble to test if Americans would pay for such a service? Being the middle man in such a scheme would be seemingly profitable. The notion of offering a ransom vs. receiving a demand for it, draws my suspicion.
Lots of interesting CG details here, from the Ventura County Star:

I am having a hard time believing that CG was not involved in this saga before 11/14, which the article asserts (you have to read the four paragraphs starting with The donor purchased the website ).
They wouldn't.
Does anyone know if SP was severely dehydrated? Did they deny her water as well as food? I have heard you can live only 3 days without water, is that really true?
Imo.
They let SP go.

Are you suggesting the anonymous donor was somehow involved in abducting SP? I'm sorry, I'm not following how that would make sense, if that's what you are implying. If that's not what you mean, please elaborate. TIA.

gotiation expert Chris Voss, who was the lead international kidnapping negotiator with the FBI for 24 years, now teaches business negotiation at Georgetown University.
He doesn’t object to Gamble’s idea to raise awareness about abductions, but doesn’t think his idea of bringing a new hostage negotiation model to the U.S. would work.
“It’s a dumb idea,” Voss said. “These kind of guys pop up in the developing world all the time. They’re a nuisance but they don’t do much harm."...
"T here’s no market for the U.S.,” Voss said. And that’s because society doesn’t tolerate it, law enforcement is well equipped and effective enough to deal with kidnappings, and the alleged perpetrators usually get caught. When they do, they go to prison for a very long time, he said...
In the very few “legitimate kidnappings” that do happen, the victim is usually either killed or left to die. “They don’t need a witness,” to who the captor is, Voss said.
I know from all the reading I've done here and elsewhere, there are MANY that believe CG was actually behind this all along. I know how sensational that sounds and I also suspect that if there were any reason for LE to believe he was, he would have already been arrested. He's set up numerous web sites and SM pages for this venture or that, some free sites others registered domains. On many of these, the links no longer work and it looks as if he just abandoned them once he moved on to something else. In other words, he's left a pretty sloppy digital footprint. I do think he's full of baloney, but I don't think he's behind this.
But maybe they didn't let her go. It was one woman, apparently, that released her. A lot of women who were trafficked as teens, end up staying in the business as 'assistants' to their captors. I do think it is possible that one of the women felt sympathy for SP and her children.
If so, she is in a lot of trouble now, if she is even alive and well....
The donor was wise to remain anonymous. Can you imagine if his/her name was known at this point?
