When it comes to the frequency of kidnappings, Coffindaffer said: “After all, two kidnappings for ransom in the same area within two days should be statistically worrying. Is it a kidnapping by an agent, or a kidnapping by someone with connections?”.

The former FBI agent then warned that either way, “predators” are “on the loose” and stressed that “this case needs to be solved urgently.”
