Public record shows they paid $600k for a charming 3k sq/ft cape cod style home a couple years ago. Pretty big money for Memphis. And not a home you can afford on just a pre-k teacher’s salary. Near the university and a couple golf courses, which seems like the concentrated pocket of wealth for the otherwise downtrodden city.

It’s really not. A simple Zillow search will show you hundreds of houses that sold for more (in many cases, much more) than $600k in the area immediately surrounding the University of Memphis in the past couple of years.

Median home in Memphis is $200k, per capita income in $26k. It's a downtrodden lawless town. Their house now zillows for $750k. Please find me pre-k teachers (<$50k salary) and "boat salesman" ( ) who have $750k homes and brand new $100k Jeep SUVs without access to a trust fund.

Wow is right!

"Both men were tried and found guilty. At the sentencing hearing for one of the two men, a well-known lawyer appeared in the courtroom. It was Kemper. He told the judge he wanted to testify. Kemper took the stand, and testified that the man who was about to be sentenced was not the man who accosted him at gun point on that fateful evening. Yes, the man had been there and could certainly be considered an accomplice, but as Kemper saw it, the man was at the wrong place with the wrong person at the wrong time. Kemper then further described how during those hours he spent in the trunk of his car, he heard the two men talking. The man who was now about to be sentenced had pleaded with his friend to “stop the car, let this man out, give him his keys, and go!”

Forever the effective criminal defense lawyer, Kemper portrayed the man before the judge as an unwilling accomplice. He asked that the judge give him the most lenient sentence possible. The judge agreed."

Wonder if one of the "innocent accomplices" from then is the guy they arrested on this case!

She’s not pretty. Maybe she too suffered from an addiction, and they bonded.

She is certainly above average. Blonde, blue eyes, in shape, career, private school credentials, Christian, affluent high-status family.

Sure, mid 30s with 2 kids is no longer in her physical prime, but she was certainly very cute 10 to 15 years ago when Southern men and women are looking for a spouse.

No, the perpetrator of the current kidnapping served quite a bit of time but not nearly enough. Violent criminals should be kept incarcerated. This woman has paid a huge price for her kidnapper's freedom.

It's not victim blaming. Look up the definition.

It's weird she worked, that is all. Nobody said she couldn't work.

What era are you living in? I come from a high net worth family and my in laws are billionaires. Everyone works and has a string work ethic. We do also volunteer and are generous in philanthropy but were raised to know nothing is a given or expected and of course we work. I would not want my children to grow up in a house without learning these values. Like this woman I tailor my hours so I am home when the children are home and appreciate that most people do not have this opportunity. To say she shouldn’t work? Other than victim blaming, it also sounds like a 1950s mentality. Finally, to those who say she looked much older, all of my runner friends have that look due to low body fat and excess sun exposure.

Wow more details about the 2000 kidnapping and the perp. Dude went to prison for nearly 20 years, was paroled, and basically committed the same crime again. What a nutso.

I’m just saying, for a true billionaire heiress, with the kind of money that could convince the local university to open their gym early just for you ( ), as some posters insist, she could have had her pick of much, much nicer houses. Plenty of people are spending $1M+ in this apparently downtrodden town.

But the Ivy League lawyer got to virtue signal to all of his social circle how compassionate and forgiving he was. Noblesse oblige. Instead of life in prison the perps got to go harm someone else.

Is the husband the same age or older/younger?

Goodness. How do you know she is a lovely person?

NP. Why are you so eager to tear down a mom who was kidnapped?

I’m not. However, I am also not eager to anoint someone a good person simply because she is a white woman worth billions. There is no indication that she was either good or bad, but you know DCUM and their stereotypes.

…so…less-than-perfect and amazing people deserve to get kidnapped? That’s what you’re going with? Privileged but imperfect people = deserve to be kidnapped? Uh oh, 95% of DCUM, know that if something happens to you, we’ll tell your kids that you deserved it.

Ritzy private school? No, it’s a church preschool

When I first heard this story, I was unaware she was a billionaire heiress. If there has been no ransom demand, that is a very bad sign. Those poor kids. Something tells me their lives will never be the same!

I’m not blaming the authorities on this one. The law and sentencing guidelines stipulate that he can get paroled after he serves 85% of his sentence if he maintains good behavior while in prison. He served his 85% and was paroled. If he posed a demonstrated danger, he would not have been paroled.

The is just a sociopath.

In March 2022, she wrote, “Yesterday marked 8 years married to [husband]. To say it has all been rainbows, prettiness, Hollywood movies, and easy would be a lie. I am grateful for every 2922 day of these 8 years. We have worked hard, showed up, failed, forgiven, and loved. Thank you Richie! Love you! Lets make a beautiful mess of many more years together. ❤️”

Richie also wrote, “ANXIETY is REAL, DEPRESSION is REAL, ADDICTION is REAL, MENTAL HEALTH is REAL!” an old Instagram post read.

A wasp and her lower class posting stuff like this is very weird. Wasps are generally reserved. It paints a picture both had mental health and/or substance abuse issues they were coping with. "Meeting at church" isn't quite as charming if it was in some sort of 12 Steps program.

How do we know that she had mental health problems? She could have fallen for the wrong guy and had a rescue complex

I wouldn't be surprised if her parents try to gain some custody rights to the kids

It's also very discouraging that they've arrested someone but don't know where she is and are searching a nearby dumpster......
