#1 These so-called journo's are illiterate. The word is riddled, not ridden.

#2 I'm not an experienced missing persons investigator, so perhaps some of the experts here can help me out: when you find the vehicles belonging a group of missing people and those vehicles are filled with bullet holes, is that a good sign or a bad sign?

#4 I guess the next question is, are there pools of blood on the seats and the ground nearby? If no blood, I would think the flying bullets came after the occupants were forced to get out of the vehicles.

#5 If there was no blood splatters or pools, the vehicles were used as object lessons as to why you should do what the men with the guns say. Plus if the village is far enough out, escaping from the kidnappers and making your way back is not an attractive idea without functional vehicles.
