Said this the other day. I used to live around that area of NE. There were lots of people out in secluded areas who were put there by the government for some reason.
Witness protection? New identitiy? Who knows? For example, Solzhenitsyn wasn't all too far from there over in VT. I knew some who were put in my town by the government for protection (foreign activity related / not criminal but war related)
Long story short. I agree with you. I think she was put into protective custody so the bad guys wouldn't get to her and then"arrested" when the timing was right.
Add to that the notable that Dersh says Lynne introduced him to G-lane and I can see where this train is heading.
