CA CA - Elvira Babb, 57, Vallejo, 30 June 2016

[Blondie in Spokane]

I just assumed the kidnappers forced Elvira to give them her son's phone number. Not sure if the family has money though.

So what is it that this family does to make themselves a kidnapping target? Kidnapping for ransom is not an everyday, run-of-the-mill "crime against persons." Many people that you would expect to be kidnapping targets (i.e. children of executives, etc.) have security plans and kidnapping insurance ... So, what's the story here? Legal business? Illegal business?

The son of a Northern California woman still missing after the arrests of four people suspected of kidnapping her said Tuesday he is baffled why anyone would abduct his financially struggling mother for ransom.

John Babb said his mother, 57-year-old Elvira Babb, was bankrupt and neither he nor anyone in their family has the $60,000 that was demanded.

His mother moved to the United States from the Philippines when he was a toddler "to make a better life for herself."

"She means the world to me. She's my mom," John Babb said. "I came from the Philippines with her. She's my only mom. I'm not going to get another mom. She's a fighter."

Elivra Babb’s coworkers are devastated by her disappearance.

"We love her," said Dan DeMars, the human relations manager at Pro Lab Orthotics in Napa, where Babb works. "And she is a fighter. That's the thing -- just being somebody who worked and that's all she did -- she kept her nose down. She had quite a few friends and things. As John said, she doesn't deserve this."

As the hours passed, he said, he grew increasingly confused and concerned. That night, he drove to his mother’s Vallejo apartment and found her beloved Chihuahua-mix, Rocky, dead. Tests are being conducted to determine whether the dog was poisoned.

Prosecutors dropped kidnapping charges against Jalon Brown, 32, and Larry Young, 23, but the two are still accused of acting as accessories to a felony.

The fourth suspect, Lovely M. Ruazol, 27, has been cleared of all charges.
