Emma Was Scared
None of Emma’s friends contacted authorities about the kidnapping, either. The next morning, Emma went home but texted her friends that there was a stranger at her doorstep. “I’m home alone, and somebody in all black walked down my street and came to my door and rang the doorbell over and over again,” Emma texted Riley.
She added, “I thought I was going to die.” She also wrote to Riley: “I hate you, but I need you right now,” which shows how scared she was. He immediately responded with, “I’m coming… I’m speeding; just give me a minute.”
