Silver Valley surveillance video could shed light on Montana kidnapping.
Surveillance video taken at a Silver Valley convenience store could solve an alleged kidnapping from a Montana rest stop.
Spokane County Sheriff's deputies found the body of Rita Maze, 47, near Spokane International Airport last Tuesday. She was shot to death inside the trunk of her car.
The question is who was seen on surveillance video pumping $25 of gas that afternoon, Maze or someone else?
Kwik Stop employees say they don't know the answer because they never looked at the video. The FBI asked for a specific time frame and the store handed over the footage.
Kwik Stop employees say the footage taken at the gas pumps is no longer in their surveillance system, but the FBI have a copy. If Maze was seen pumping her own gas in that footage it would cast a lot of doubt in her claims she was kidnapped.
September 8, though, the Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said “Yes, you should” when asked by news outlets whether they should be skeptical of the abduction story, according to the Spokesman-Review newspaper.
WHQ said the vehicle that Maze was inside has a latch that would allow a person to open the trunk from inside.
As for that trunk, could Rita Maze been able to get out at some point? KHQ found a Pontiac Grand Prix, the same year (2005) that Rita has. There's a safety latch inside. Did she know it was there? Was it working? Investigators aren't saying yet. A local dealership says it's uncommon for the latch to become disabled unless somehow the wire broke, otherwise, the latch is almost never touched.
All those who gave on GoFundMe are going to want their money back when the true story comes out. Unfortunately I don't think that's a possibility.

A Go Fund Me site created to help raise money for the Maze family says that her husband, Bob, is currently laid off, and her daughter is planning a wedding.
That might be the real agenda! (He is laid off and needs $$$$)
On Sunday, a British tabloid site posted what it claimed to be a "person of interest" in the case, based on talking with an employee of a convenience store southwest of Spokane.
KHQ TV in Spokane says that they have spoken with a member of the Maze family, and were told that they do not believe the person in the photo was involved in Maze's death.
