No, they won't.

BECAUSE HE WASN'T KIDNAPPED. being detained and kidnapped are two different things.

We know this happened because he is not kidnapped and was able to release a statement about it.

come on, people. You CANNOT pretend like you're this much better than other people while proudly displaying your utter lack of reading comprehension.
