I also read that 2 sets of DNA were retrieved from the duct tape, used to tape Kim's mouth shut.

I'm pretty sure it's major for French tourism. It happened in a hotel, which does not speak well for their security.

Wow. just SMH

Anyway, glad they're catching them. This would be a horribly scary thing for anybody and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

@Noel7

unfortunately, i guess if this had happened to a "regular tourist" people would have more sympathy or compassion. just because it happened to a "kardashian" doesnt make it anymore less serious. not sure why people feel the need to make a joke out of it.

thanks for sharing the updates.

Right on, Sunshine! I had something to say but it was not as eloquent so I had to dial it back.
