Can LEO in CA obtain a geofence warrant when a crime has seemingly been committed?
Since others are stating when they suspected it was a hoax, I'll add that when her phone was found by KP at the intersection with her earbuds neatly and carefully wrapped around the phone, that was my 1st clue this was not a hasty kidnapping.
I guess they can. Because they did!
As for me, some suspected a hoax before she even turned up safe. But I didn’t until she showed up. After hearing her story, I was certain it was b.s. The reasons:
1. Traffickers don’t kidnap middle class blonde women from residential neighborhoods. It’s too much of a risk for them. They want easy prey. She doesn’t come remotely close to the demographic preyed upon by traffickers.
2. She wasn’t trafficked. According to her, she was just held for two weeks. Not sexually assaulted. Not sold. No motive for taking her.
3. She was released on the very day her husband promised she’d come back.
4. She was released from the hospital within hours. If she had been so badly tortured and injured, she would have been kept there, IMO, for longer.
5. She had a story in which she heroically attacked her captor who did not retaliate for being attacked.
6. Her husband claimed her head had been shaved but it looked to be in a cute bob when photos were shown of her, post-“release.”
7. She harmed herself when younger and falsely accused her mom of doing it.
8. She apparently wrote a racist screed on a white nationalist site showing her disgust of “Mexicans” and one in which she was both victim and hero in the narrative which was similar to the kidnap narrative.
9. She’s a good storyteller, as her wedding blog showed.
10. Given the then huge hype about traffickers targeting ordinary white women and children (which has no evidence and comes from a historic, racist and misogynistic construct), her narrative seemed suspiciously opportunistic.
