Donna Rotunno: ‘Ransom Notes Appear to Be Red Herrings,’ Lack Proof of Life and Standard Kidnapping Indicators

RUSH EXCERPT:

ROTUNNO: “Random notes as they are telling and helpful if it is a true situation, but the problem is that these are not typical ransom notes. We’ve had no proof of life, no continued contact. There were only two notes from the person who claimed to actually have had her in the other three were notes saying I know who did this so if you look at the first two, it’s not made sense to me for at least 10 days that this is not a standard situation. If you have her and want money in exchange for her, he be reaching out in a much more regular fashion and giving proof of life, giving information that would corroborate that you actually have information that leads to the crime and the taking of her out of her home so I think what it does is puts us in a situation where these were red herrings, I don’t think these are pieces of information that are going to lead us to her. I think it was to throw law enforcement off and they are just not standard letters. Unless there’s so much more happening that they are not telling us about in regards to”
