Yes, I think it is a bit unusual. I think the arrest on kidnapping is unusual, too. Is this a kidnapping for ransom and the FBI/LE determined it was best to not publicize it?
I wonder if naive Naomi unwittingly chatted about her father working for the State Dept., and the wrong sorts overheard her then came up with a dumb ransom scheme. While this does sound like zebra hooves, didn't the brother say it might be a group responsible for the disappearance?
Well he did kidnap Naomi. So IMO, the charge fits. Kidnappings rarely involve ransom. A lot DV offenders are charged with kidnapping because they won't let their victims leave the house, etc. Anyone that prevents someone from being able to freely move through threats or intimidations could be charged with kidnapping. And I do not thing this is about her dad at all. I think this guy was an opportunist creep that got lucky and there was very little planning at all. All JMO.
