Technically, since Aurora Sterling was the one who called the police and was also the target of the kidnapping, she was indeed the victim. If this were a typical kidnapping case, the procedure wouldn't be too complicated.
However, this vicious kidnapping case had many strange aspects, the most significant being that all the kidnappers involved were in a coma. Meanwhile, Aurora, the one who had reported the crime and been its victim, was wide awake and completely unscathed.
It was also said that one of the kidnappers had been shot and escaped. For the time being, the police couldn't get any useful testimony from the criminals, so they had no choice but to focus their attention on Aurora and her father, Timothy Sterling.
Aurora Sterling hadn't taken anyone's life; everything she did fell within the scope of reasonable self-defense. Knowing this full well, and wanting to save time, she answered all the police's questions briefly and truthfully.
