Gamble, however, said he hasn't received any scam calls, but he declined to discuss what otherwise may have been received. While he agrees with Bosenko that the captor originally didn't want money, he sees offering to pay an undisclosed ransom as a way to establish a dialogue and learn if Papini is OK, he said.
In addition, if the high-profile nature of the disappearance has the kidnapper having second thoughts, it gives him or her a safe out.
"We want to create an opportunity for them to release her," he said. "They need a way to get out of this situation."
