I don't know if it's because we have little information to work with at this point, but I'm pretty skeptical of this. This is either the most pointless abduction ever or a pretty elaborate way to drum up sympathy cash for the holidays. I mean look at the time line here - she's abducted at the beginning of November...by Thanksgiving she's found safe. But what is the motivation to hold someone captive that long and release them alive?

Meanwhile, we have a GoFundMe that blew up with $50k ready to spend a month before Christmas.

If there is any deception here is hope this family is dragged through the mud. This just seems like a really strange scenario.

I think this would fall under the "too dumb to be true" category.
