I wonder what was in the truck that was so valuable for that woman to steal it.

Most likely a fight for the kids story between the couple.

I wonder why not first degree kidnapping. I wonder what the back story is here. It does look to be like a family dispute of some sort, behind it all. Perhaps, the lady was running off with the children, for some reason.

I guess she had a fight with the male person for the kids. I also hope that the kids are okay as well.

I am sure that there was a family dispute in Raliegh when the truck was stolen.
