Can you point me to the article that states her last ping was in Bismarck, Arkansas? So far, every article I have found just says "South on Arkansas Hwy 7" or "south of Hot Springs" but I can't find the article that lists a specific town or miles south in regards to that last phone ping. Thanks!

I saw the information on a missing person's poster on Facebook and I assumed it was widely confirmed information. Apparently, it is not! My apologies

I do know that since a lot of that area is unincorporated, some locals just refer to the large area on highway 7 between Hot Springs and Arkadelphia as "Bismarck" even if it is not within the city limits. I've definitely done that before. I'll edit my original post to reflect this. Once again, my apologies! I did not intend to spread false information. Though it is certainly possible that the area she last pinged at was near Bismarck.

No worries! I was just trying to see for sure if we knew how far out she was at the time of that last ping and none of the articles I could find were specific about that, which was frustrating
 
Just to clarify. In my pervious post. My intention was NOT to imply this case is a hoax. IMO more needs to be known. My statement was meant for those who have wasted law enforcement's and searchers' time.

It's all good. I agree with wasted manpower etc. I am so glad she is found safe. I felt it odd that she said she is fine and then he got on the phone and threatened her life and demanding $. I am also hopeful we will hear of either an arrest or reason. IMO

Oh. Ok. They “ “ the alleged abduction phrase. Yikes. Sounds like it may have been planned and not the serious situation everyone was led to believe. I hope that’s not the case. Sherri Papini can testify(no pun intended) that LE and the community don’t appreciate being lied to about something like this. It’s not a game and it’s not a funny joke.

ITA and I hope there's no TikTok "challenge" trend toward teens doing this in the future. :(

Although there are some cases of human traffickers kidnapping their victims, it is very rare. In most cases the victims are groomed online, seduced, or are very vulnerable, such as homeless teens. Although it is a common myth, traffickers do not want to draw attention to themselves by kidnapping someone off a public street, parking lot, or shopping mall.

Nor do traffickers ask for ransom.
