She does allude to the fact that some type of ransom was paid,\u201d Walder said, referring to when Savannah said in the heartbreaking clip, \u201cWe have done our part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pack also believes Savannah was hinting that she has taken some sort of action with that line. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive words, and not one of them an accusation.
