Sabrina typed, So, it ultimately boils down to the kidnapping.
If she could prove that Zeke was one of the kidnappers and that he had ties to Decker, everything would fall into place.
Proving that Zeke had a hand in the kidnapping posed a challenge. She needed conclusive evidence to tie him to the crime.
Darren replied, Yes. Still, this abduction isnt as straightforward as it seems. During that period, the authorities only managed to uncover the identities of two kidnappers, both of whom escaped overseas.
Someone was probably directing their actions behind the scenes.
Yet unraveling the mastermind behind their actions hinged on a crucial detail: uncovering the identity of the hostage.
The orchestrator of this scheme invested substantial funds to ensure the kidnappers eluded capture and fled overseas. This individual also manipulated Decker into incarceration and generously recompensed him.
Any inkling of suspicion could jeopardize the meticulously crafted plan.
This case extended beyond a mere ransom-demanding kidnapping. It seemed to be a more calculated strike aimed directly at the hostage. Perhaps someone harbored a deep animosity towards the captive individual.
Is there no way to uncover the identity of the hostage? inquired Sabrina.
Darren promptly responded, Ive diligently restored numerous archived posts and scoured past news reports, but unfortunately, theres been no trace. Given the passage of time, the task of discovery has become considerably more challenging.
Though disappointment weighed on her, Sabrinas hope for Darrens success persisted. She replied, Okay. Give me a moment to open the information about Zeke.
She clicked on the file that Darren had forwarded, which contained all the information about Zeke.
As she perused the document, she suddenly stopped and stared at the screen.
Nestled within the information were intriguing particulars about Zekes wife and only child that captured her attention.
It was revealed that his child, a son named Trevor Faulkner, is 22 and currently in his fourth year at Elfton University.
Could it be the same Trevor she was acquainted with?
The alignment was uncanny: 22 years old, a senior at Elfton University.
The pieces fit together seamlessly.
Recollections stirred as she remembered a conversation with Trevor during her time in Norwen. He had mentioned relocating to Dracwynne with his family when he was 12.
A move that aligned with the events of a decade ago.
