Sadly, I think you're probably right, Indy.
I know the area whete she lives. It's in the foothills that overlook Tucson. I used to service a Whole Foods and a Safeway (the one where Mark Kelly's wife Gabby Giffords and several other people were shot and or murdered) in that area.
I'm sure that it's being covered here more closely than in the rest of the country, but they seem to be no closer to solving this case than they were weeks ago. So sad. I can't imagine what her close friends and family not to mention the victim herself are going through (or went through).

Yeah, it's not the way you want to check out. Seems like kidnappings almost always end in a mess. Think maybe it seems easy to the perps, but once you have that person you have to take care of them as well as watch them all the time. I'm not following the case closely, but last I heard the family was willing to pay as long as they got proof of life - so why haven't they? Most likely because something went wrong early. She's 84, so things like a heart attack are not off the table even if the kidnappers are treating her well otherwise. Just sad.
