I’m shocked the possible perps were located north. Nice homes. Can’t even trust wealthy neighbors. Sad.
A criminal heart can reside in a wealthy person, as well.
We’ve all read about cases that surprise us, and not every crime is committed by the poor seeking money.
We still don’t know why NG was kidnapped, nor the validity of the ransom notes.
It may well be someone with a record, or someone committing a first crime. It may be someone poor, or someone for whom this is just some kind of thrill.
Rob Reiner’s son was rich; the man who recently killed his former wife (Tepe case) was a heart doctor, to mention two recent cases. Those were motivated by hatred, not by money. Or you get a Murdaugh, or a Mangione. Money without morals.
Yes, it may well be someone poor, desperate, on drugs or anything else at this point. And yes, statistically it’s more likely to have crime in a “bad” neighborhood.
But IMO nothing can ever be ruled out just based on probability, as well as the preconceived notions we all harbor, consciously or not.
In my opinion.
