Why would someone kidnap her if it wasn't for a ransom? If it was someone to get back at Savannah for some reason you would think they would want that to be known and reach out to the media for the attention.

This was clearly a robbery gone wrong. She probably confronted the guy and he killed her. Took the body, disposed of it and is long gone.
 
Why would people flood 911 with calls offering opinions on how the Sheriff's Dept or the FBI should be handling this case? What the "F" is wrong with people? I'm retired and I don't have that kind of time on my hands to waste it calling 911. Could the person who did this at least had the minimal competance to finish robbing her home BEFORE she got home from church?

I have not followed the case but it must be a virtual certainty that she is deceased by now.

Agree- I think it was either a kidnapping gone wrong where she died early on OR kidnappers got cold feet that they would be found via email correspondence/bitcoin wallet/pacemaker and they killed her. Also think there is a good chance the culprits are no longer in the US.

Yes, but then you have a lot of issues to deal with. Like a dead body in your car. With potential DNA from hairs, skin, etc. And if someone catches you, you're kind of up shit creek.

I don't know. It's not a ridiculous supposition, but it's not exactly obvious either. In addition, if the perps were there for a robbery, they might not really know how to dispose of a body without getting caught.

Robbery seems highly unlikely. Criminals don’t take homeowners after the robbery is complete. That only happens in kidnappings and targeted murders.
 
I haven’t gotten into the details of this case, but did the kidnappers demand a ransom? Or did she just get taken without any word from the kidnappers?

There have been a few different Ransom notes but I believe at this point, police believe they are all scams. I don't think there are any legitimate Ransom notes at this time, at least released publicly.

Multiple media outlets have received ransom notes, but police haven't said how authentic they believe these notes to be.
 
It did seem odd that someone would kidnap her and not demand ransom. Otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense. My thought was that it was someone who lived in the area and knew who she (the mom) was and thought that because her daughter was a bit of a celebrity, they could get something from her. I’m really surprised they haven’t been able to find the culprit.

I haven't paid close attention to this because there's obviously other things going on in our world.

I hadn't even thought about it just being a robbery gone wrong. But I believe you may be right. I have assumed it was a kidnapping attempt gone wrong (like you, I agree she died in the attempt or very soon after), which would explain why the kidnapper has not responded to their own ransom requests.

The thing that confused me was that, if you were going to kidnap someone for ransom, surely you would have a Plan B or C.

You're likely right that it was a robbery instead. And the perpetrator is trying to stall as long as possible for an exit.
