I personally don't believe this has anything to do with Ana's disappearance.
I also believe that Ana was thrust into this hornet's nest by her employer. For PR and legal reasons they likely told her she couldn't say anything to the tenants about the actions by the fraudsters/spies (?). She probably didn't have the best PR/corporate skills to handle this situation.
EBM for typo and to add a postscript—
Thank you for your perspective. I’m fine with that as one take on it, but I also find it to be more than a coincidence that Ana is surrounded by folks engaged in fraud/gamesmanship/deceit, etc.
MOO, but I, personally, refuse to believe she is an oblivious sheep unable to understand what’s going on around her, or to act with agency. Yes, the NY Post article smacks of xenophobia and is clearly exaggerating some things.
But to fully understand a crime, especially a mysterious one such as this, I try to fully understand the victim and all of those surrounding her.
Somehow this woman seems to be surrounded by folks who are not always on the up and up, and it has been that way for her for a long period of time. I am in no way blaming her, but I’m also interested in looking at the entirety of the situation to see who else may be around, and how her experience of “shady doings” on many fronts (home, work, etc) may have inured her to the dangers lurking in the corners of her life (i.e., her abductor/likely killer). I am not seeing tons of photos of Ana with a huge circle of adoring friends on IG; I do see a LOT of photos of her colleagues and co-workers, glamour shots & selfies, and images of her reveling in the luxury goods she so clearly enjoyed. She had a “get-ahead” mindset; it may have played a role in who she allowed to be close to her, is what I’m saying.
MOO, but to me, it feels important to look at all the angles and not infantilize her. What IF she knew what was going on at the building, and why is it less acceptable and less important to ask that than any other question in this case?
All MOO/my speculation only.
I should also add I believe BW is responsible for Ana’s disappearance. I am not 100% sure he didn’t have some sort of assistance after the fact.
