CNN law enforcement analyst Steve Moore, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, has said that it appears that Nancy’s alleged captors are “amateurs.” “They think that you take the person and while they’re gone, you say you give us this money or will harm this person, and the money comes…that’s not how it works,” he said.
“You need proof of life. You need hope that you’ll get them back before anybody will even consider money coming your way,” he added.
