San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said earlier this week that Hannah 'did not appear to be held against her will'

Here's a CNN interview with a close friend of Hannah's (Marissa Chavez): California teen rescued, her alleged abductor killed in Idaho wilderness

I couldn't find a way to link directly to the video, but it's at the top of the article. Hanna told the friend it was creepy and she didn't want to be alone with him after he told her he had a crush on her.

My thinking is that in the ten years they were there surely they could have found a way out. He wasn’t there 24/7 - but then maybe they were so toughly cowed or something.

I'm thinking the same. The women said they would get beaten if they tried to escape. Did you see the pictures recently released of one of the rooms? It was apparently the room where the little girl and her mama was living and there were heavy chains and locks. But it's my understanding they weren't always chained up so who knows.

With this Hannah, I dunno. The article says she wasn't being held against her will but couldn't say if she knew about her mother and brother. Very strange. Where was she during their murders and the house fire? What was her family thinking to send her off to Hollywood with a man? All sorts of red flags.

Same here. Even as a kid, I was smart enough to not believe a word of the Patty Hearst thing.

From the video interview with her friend - If she didn’t want to be alone with him then why the heck did she go to Hollywood for a week (cut short) and stay in the same hotel room with him? There’s lots more to this story.

Hope it turns out that way.

There’s lots more to this story

The friend said Hannah didn't tell her mom about the creepy/crush part because he was a close family friend, was doing the family lots of favors and she didn't want to upset that. The friend also said Hannah didn't see him as a threat.

Let me know if you find more about the story.

This is what puzzles me. How could that father let that guy near his family? There is something wrong with an adult male just attaching himself to some other guy’s family. And the girl was uncomfortable with this creep and the family still let him come around? Wow!

kept locked/unlocked threatened, beaten, raped and perhaps witnessing other horrendous things would tend to make one a bit hesitant to do anything, like try to escape, unless you knew absolutely for sure you could get away....

E. Smart was at a party with other people within a few weeks of her kidnapping...she wasn't tied up....

lets be careful to surmiss what WE would do in a situation because we haven't been in those shoes....

even our beloved Reagan understood what Patty Hearst went thru....
