Nikki Batista : We are pursuing every means we have to find Gemma. We-- We talked to her work, we're looking at every point of contact. This has to be someone that knew her well enough to know about the adoption.
Charlotte Ravelle : I just need to know. If we pay the ransom, will they release her?
Nikki Batista : Ransom demands are always a gamble. They're counting on your emotions, that you're willing to do anything.
Charlotte Ravelle : I will do anything.
Nikki Batista : I know. And I say this as an adoptive mother, Charlotte-- most times, if the ransom is paid, the subject is released, but you are being asked to pay ransom for a baby that isn't yours.
Charlotte Ravelle : Pennsylvania law allows the birth mother to change her mind. So you could pay and wind up with nothing.
Nikki Batista : Then they'd release Gemma?
Charlotte Ravelle : Maybe. But that doesn't mean you get the baby.
