    maybe that was too obvious to her captor and maybe a game flew under the psycho’s radar, giving just enough cover and time to ask for help

      Yea, don’t think that’s it:

      Authorities then set up a video call with the kidnapped teenager, during which the victim recounted Harmel’s abuse during the 18 months she was held in captivity.

      There’s something about this that doesn’t add up.

        Honestly I think you just need to stop assuming a kid in this situation is going to react logically. I guarantee she just wanted to contact someone she knew and she had an old friend from school on among us and used that. Also, for the people suggesting email, it’s actually a lot harder to make an email these days than you’d think. Especially on the services that most people know about.
