12. sorry. poor wording on my part

I meant something the kidnapper(s) had not thought out thoroughly prior to commission .. ?
This is one of the key elements of any such plot ....

The only way for this not to have been planned out - is if the kidnapping happened spur of the moment. And frankly - that would make for a very unusual, almost hard to imagine, set of circumstance and motivation.

What I suspect is much more likely ... Is that these 'ransom demands' - at this point represent just plain old opportunism .. and very likely not even by the same person(s) involved in the original crime. Hope I can be proven wrong ... But, if this IS in fact a kidnapping ... It is now a thoroughly 'botched' job.
