The letter was postmarked on April 4– the exact day Angela was abducted– and included the informant’s wife’s first name. His wife and daughter, who was also named Angela, resided in Clinton, Missouri.

In turn, authorities now believe that the abduction of Angela Hammond was a mistake.
“The theory developed by investigators is that, in retribution for the informant providing information that led to the prosecution and disruption of this criminal enterprise, a person or persons involved in the enterprise planned and executed the kidnapping of the informant’s daughter,” the department explained.
However, somewhere along the way, the informant’s daughter’s identity was accidentally mistaken for Angela Hammond, resulting in the “wrong Angela” being taken.
“While the theory seems incredible, investigators have come across information that lends credibility to it and have, so far, been unable to refute it,” the department continued.
Now, authorities are hoping community members can help further their investigation. They have urged anyone with information regarding this theory about Angela’s abduction to contact the Clinton Police Department immediately at (660) 885-5561.
