I was always under the impression that when they do this, it's because the word abducted was taken as a direct quote from authorities. They can possibly get sued should the information turn out to be wrong or challenged, so it's a way for the media to protect themselves from liability by quoting the source who claimed it.
Good, but why is abducted in quotes, as if abduction isn't abduction? They are so desperate
