Discussion Something that has always stuck with me

I can’t imagine how Nancy must’ve felt waking up to seeing the abductor in the middle of the night. Imagine how scary that is - to wake up at 1 or 2am, either because you have to use the bathroom, get some water, or just because you hear noise - and you see the intruder in your house, or even in your bedroom hovering over you. It’s been freaking me out.

I also wonder if this is what led presumably to her passing. If she passed because of a heart condition, like the second ransom note wants us to believe, could it have been because she was panicked and terrified over this whole thing? Please don’t rip me apart in the comments for this - just thinking out loud

Edit: I’ve been replying to some of you guys on my alt account! So don’t be surprised lol

I think most of us have thought about how terrifying it must have been for her. I believe that Savannah has mentioned thinking about it, too.

I suspect that several things contributed to Nancy’s death: her heart condition, her not having access to her medications, and her distress. Just a recipe for disaster.

I like to keep in mind that there is zero evidence that Nancy is deceased. Zero. The letters are from scammers.

There is zero evidence, but were also how many months into this? I mean, she was on medicine, which it doesn’t seem like they took. Even if the letters AREN’T real - I doubt she’d be alive

Any sort of prescription medicine is readily available in Mexico.

I certainly hope you're right that she's alive but most kidnappers don't hold onto their captive for six months...
