Like you, I've been thinking along similar lines, always coming back to square one:thinking:. Let me toss this out for consideration. The reward money was gathered quickly and at a pretty high but yet strange amount ($129,000 vs. say an even $150,000) Is the reward being publicly capped sending a message to potential kidnappers? Could a ransom request been made and then kept secret by LE and family similar to the Sheri Papini case in California? Is this why the apartment complex stepped in with a quick $50,000 for unkown reasons? Among many obvious reasons, is this why the family is seemingly particularly concerned about her being held against her will? I'm almost thinking that Oxford Rd. home may have served as a temporary safe house with the perp (possibly scratched and injured) sleeping on a mattress in the home before taking her to another location to be held until conditions were met. I like this option as it keeps DS alive in thought.
