The fact that Mom isn't pleading to Maleah's kidnappers is very telling, IMO.
I want to know a) Did he have a cell phone before she left town, b) if so, when was the last time she communicated with him on it, and c) is he claiming to no longer have it?
A cell phone would allow DV to let BB know where he was waiting for her at the airport/that her plane landed/whatever
A cell phone would allow her to be notified of the flat tire (potentially)
A cell phone would have allowed him to call 911 immediately upon 'waking up'
A cell phone would allow BB to contact DV directly, rather than his family.
A cell phone is a tool that the vast majority of the adult population not only have, in this day and age, but are utterly dependent upon.
I can't buy that he didn't have one.
Where is it.
