Question: You have a girl who has been kidnapped and perhaps sexually abused. She is missing. She may be dead, or perhaps she's tied up somewhere. The police have the man they believe did the crime (for the moment let's even forget he has an extensive history of sexual crimes). If she's alive, she might not be after too long with cold weather and possibly no food or water.
So, what steps do you take to find out where she is? Mind you, there is no conviction/certain proof your suspect knows at all. But you think he does. What do you do to try and save her life before she starves to death in some closet somewhere?
The real question is how did I get her? How did she end up in my closet? After all, I'm not the kidnapper/assaulter. I mean .. if I find her (dead or alive), calling the police right away sounds like the best bet.
The next part is kinda confusing ... because if I have her (especially if she's tied up ... or worse ...
) then I should be able to easily keep track of her. If the suspect they have in custody knows her location then time is certainly of the essense and I better contact the police before he says anything so I don't appear to be an accessory. Then again, things already look suspicious. After all, she somehow ended up in my closet, that certainly looks bad.
If she's alive I would definately feed her and make sure she's warm and safe if it appears that she's hungry and cold. Especially since she could then help prove my innocence. Her being dead, however, could be a real problem.
