I think it might be the "luring her to PTL" under false pretenses (if that's what happened) that prompted the kidnapping charge.

That and without the body of Heather tack on all the charges you can. If they never find her maybe a jury not able to come to a determination of who did what and how it happened could at least find both SM and TM guilty of kidnapping, and so on. There is always a risk that a jury (since there is more than one defendant accused of murder) might not be able to come to a murder determination. Clearly, murder happened. Did they both strike fatal blows or did one just lure and watch? Or did only one participate and the other help cover up? If they were both aware that murder was going to happen (which is what I believe and what I think LE and the DA believe) it is still a risk in front of a jury. I guarantee you that they will at least BOTH be found of kidnapping though. Because once you start harming someone and not allowing them to find help/safety/relief you are holding them against their will. Hence, kidnapping.
