Thanks for the photo, Duchess.
If Abigail was in fact kept in that storage container for 9 months, against her will, it had to be a nightmare and it's rather a miracle that she was not killed.
I don't know what to think about the case at this point. Kibby is charged with one count of felony kidnapping (so far). That carries a max sentence of seven years. The charge is that he knowingly confined Abigail Hernandez with intent to harm her.
But, so far, LE has released no details regarding how she was harmed or whether she knew or interacted with Kibby before she went missing. Investigators either haven't gotten those details from Abby, or they haven't yet validated what she's told them, or they just don't wanna show their hands at this time.
I think the probable cause hearing will be much more enlightening than was the Arraignment (though there won't likely be as many details and witnesses as we saw at Ross Cooper's probable cause hearing -- that one was far outside the norm).
The probable cause hearing for Nathaniel Kibby is scheduled for August 12th. That's when the state will need to lay some of its cards on the table to convince the judge that there exists sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial. The defense gets to counter state arguments and witnesses at the probable cause hearing as well.
