After reading the updates, I'm in shock by the man. He spends 20 years in prison for this, makes another attempt a year later, and was so careless with it.
He wore the same slides he casually wears, he left them and her cellphone around the scene later to be found, took his cellphone which was backtracked by police at the time of the abduction, and then left the car he adducted her in at his known address and left it there all morning. Then frantically cleans out his car and washes his clothes at his address with a witness. You'd expect this from a rookie.
I think only time will tell with a deeper look into security footage around the area trying to track the vehicle. This and the fact that he did this at 16 makes me think it was a cheap, contract job which is really sad. I'm pulling for her.
Wait, why do you think this is a contract job? Because he didn’t execute it with careful planning and attention to detail? Because he abducted someone at 16? Makes no sense to me.
”You’d expect this from a rookie.” And what is he? He’s a man who as far as we know committed one somewhat dissimilar abduction 20+ years ago and was caught for it. He’s presumably a sociopath who can’t be fixed, but there’s no reason to think of him as a practiced, calculated criminal. There’s no reason to think he would carry out such a heinous crime intelligently.
I suspect he noticed the victim running the same route at the same time x number of times before. Being a man with zero conscience or sense of morality, he decided he was going to abduct and rape her. Whether he planned to kill her or not I couldn’t guess. I’m not sure he had even that level of planning, let alone covering all the bases to avoid being caught in the year 2022.
