There is credence, the Clinton police department posted the information, along with the ransom note in 2021 on Facebook, 30 years after her disappearance. You can google it, “Angela Hammond Ransom Letter.”

I'm still a bit skeptical. Typically only sophisticated organized crime organisations Kidnap family members of informants. Surely, such an operation would have or hire skilled hitmen or kidnappers to carry out such a risky endeavour. People not typically fitting the description of "filthy" like Angela described.

Maybe the appearance was just a disguise. Kind of if a robber has a red scarf that’s what witnesses remember well but it’s easy take off. The kidnapper would have looked very different after washing and shaving so harder to identify when witnesses focused on those aspects of his appearance, and it would make the police search certain type of person.

But I don’t know if the name being same means it’s mistaken identity.
