I have the impression that, as the police say, she was kidnapped against her will, any psychopath can do that... Was she divorced? Did she have a bad relationship with her ex-husband or her partner? She always goes around investigating... and it must have been quick for her house to look as if she had gone to the corner store and come back a few minutes later...
whatever it is rest in peace
