Great story.
That would be pretty hard to pull off on a Maine island with several miles of open water on one side and some really angry lobstermen on the other.
Yes - and in this case, it helped that once she'd pulled off the escape, the first people she found were a group of hunters, and that may well have dissuaded the kidnappers from attempting any recapture.
Kinda hard to pull off here too with so many armed Americans. Something like 30 U.S. states follow and/or copy FL gun laws. I never leave home w/o my little keltec in my pocket. Don’t even know that .380 is in there loaded with hollow points.
