I mean, if the girl is returned then she'd probably tell the police everything she knows about the kidnappers too?
Or maybe I'm just too innocent to understand it all [emoji23]

Which is why, sadly, many kidnapping victims are never returned even after a ransom has been paid. Though some will be more organised and very careful to conceal their identity, and return the victim unharmed. This is so that they can do it again in future, and have "proof" that the person will genuinely be safe if the money is paid (so family are more likely to pay).
