What about CG and his burner phone hotline? Once the reverse ransom video was released, would a judge grant a warrant to allow LE to monitor that number? If I were the kidnappers, I certainly wouldn't assume I could call that number with immunity, no matter the assurances made by CG. It's most likely a moot point, I just wonder.
 
The release of so many parolee's and sex offenders into the Redding area is an outrage imho. This used to be a good place to live. There still are many good people here, as evidenced by their support for the family. I hope the area can be saved but I'm not optimistic.

If these women were just low-level, they would still run the risk that the victim could escape the trafficker and later identify ALL parties involved, not just a pimp. Although trafficking can and does happen throughout the US, Redding has a higher incident rate than many areas. This site lists the chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime 1 in 145 in Redding as compared to 1 in 252 in California; chances of becoming a victim of property crime is 1 in 22 in Redding as compared to 1 in 41 in California. Just as a frame of reference, where I live the numbers are 1 in 563 for violent crimes; almost 4 times more likely to be victimized in Redding. Not bashing at all, just stating what appears to be confirmed by local crime pages due to legislation and the release of parolees into Redding. All MOO.

Tough question. I go back and forth on that. I lean towards random, but she may have been followed or came to the abductors attention in some other way.

So if that's the case, then do you think her abduction was random and not targeted?

So if you do think it was sex trafficking, why do you thnk they let her go?

Alright, based upon my knowledge of the family relationships let me be very upfront. I am 100% convinced that the abduction was real. That Keith had no part in it whatsoever. I also am 100% convinced Sherri was taken against her will, held, beaten and tortured (imho), by the two persons described as "female hispanics" , and that she was ultimately released by one of them.

Yep, used to a good place to live. Now every covered RABA stop has 5 transients sleeping in it.

Thanks for sharing. I dont think I have realized much about the dynamics of Redding at all. I looked it up on a map and I have been to Sacramento and even been north of Sac. doing some touristy things and just cannot imagine it is as bad as the statistics seem.

It is sad to hear this about that area which I am almost positive has beautiful scenery around it based on my visit north of Sac.

But having those friends kidnap a woman to publicize your security business is.
Interference in LE investigations is as well. Putting out a video saying you have cash to exchange for a woman's freedom...if you don't....that's interfering as well as endangering IMO....so if LE found it untrue he could be arrested, right?
I do not think the donor was "anonymous " to LE. JMO but all of his background, the source of the cash etc was known to them.

Whether it was true or untrue they could have arrested him for that as he was offering to aid and abet criminals so that they could finance their escape without consequences as either way that's interfering and especially if it was true - rather than it not being true - would they have grounds to arrest him for that. I do think it wasn't anonymous to LE and LE knew from the beginning that he was faking it, like the TV station that initially refused to run the story on 11/6 probably at some point contacted LE about that as there was some reason it didn't get publicized until 11/17 needing KP's vouching for CG. To me anyway all along LE has treated this like it was targeted rather than there being random females that are in danger from the same people, which I think they've been keeping tabs on and investigating a number of people. Just having the evidence to seek an indictment is another thing. Particularly complicating things is that this is across jurisdictions. For all we know Gamble was for instance in Nevada during most of this (he said he was out of town), which he could have used someone else's burner phone to then call his minions in Yolo or some other city (which for all we know SP could have been transported elsewhere besides Yolo), which if he was using someone else's old burner phone in another state, that would be hard to trace let alone LE even knowing he was on those calls.
