Sounds like police have a pretty good idea of who was responsible and have someone under investigation/under police watch, the search for her abductor seems pretty low key and police don’t seem to be advising women to take extra care etc when out alone
Sounds to me like she was targeted by someone she knew and police don’t consider there is a predator on the loose
Reading about this case for the first time today and just want to add that Police seldom, and hardly ever warn the public about a random abductor on the loose taking random people.
It just hardly ever happens and I think its for a multitude of reasons.
First is when LE really has not yet figured out who took her then of course they will not warn of a random abductor until they can prove there really is one on the loose.
Secondly it has to be proven by LE that one person is abducting multiple people and they all are connected to the same perp. And so even when LE has 2 or more people go missing they cannot assume they were taken by the same person unless evidence proves that to them. One may be a runaway and one may have been taken by a close friend of theirs. So again they dont typically warn the public unless it is very obvious what is going on.
Thirdly they really dont want to cause panic in the neighborhood when they dont know for sure what has happened. LE knows people and businesses will get really upset with news like that and if they dont even know yet what happened then they surely dont put out warnings like that.
Even in the BTK killer situation in Wichita, Kansas, when most the whole town suspected a serial killer, it took LE years before they would even admit to that possibility.
What we will sometimes see is that when LE does a press conference, then they sometimes will make general statements of being safe but that is usually about it.
