“Yeah, I actually think they should. In the process, they should keep looking for him, but it’s only money. That’s less important than a life.”

“No. You’re never supposed to pay the ransom. All the mysteries say that.”

— Paula Schumacher, business consultant, Lawrence

“I think that would be a mistake. It would invite more crime for pay.”

— Shelley Skie Horowitz, , Lawrence

“There’s no guarantee that paying the ransom would make him stop shooting. It’s a very tragic situation.”
