Girl think's this is the police, and she has to do exactly as they say. She gets shellshocked frightened and simply does whatever she's told. She has no will of her own meanwhile, just wanting to get out of the situation. Eventually she's reduced to tears and never happens to come across a point of saying "Wait.. what the fuck is this bullshit??".
Either that, or the other situation some might not be comfortable discussing, she was in on it. She comes out of this and gets a massive settlement, and there's her incentive. All you need is an incentive to be in on a crime.
Why did the people involved co-operate with the guy on the phone? Were they in on it?
Here some could decide they don't want any part of a police investigation, and simply relay the message. It comes to a point though where the requests get ridiculous. At this point it's an older perverted man on the phone. He realizes he's getting to see a naked chick, spank her ass, and get head. Now, he has a fiancee but he can hide it behind "just following orders" his sex-crazed brain thinks. The chick meanwhile becomes frightened by this older man with seemingly an even lesser backbone. Now she has a physical fear. He hadn't forced her but seems quite fucked up. Her only thought going through her head is "I could run" but she didn't want the embarassment and what if this is true? And she couldn't just start putting her clothes on, in fear warranted or not, of the fiancee.
Also, he could be in on it some argue. Sex is also an incentive. Meanwhile, they brought in another man later on, after the first guy, the fiancee. He got on the phone and was asked to tell the girl to drop the apron. Someone with a brain seemingly, he says "DO WHAT?!". Shakes his head, and leaves the room apparently(article doesn't say). The only right reaction though.
The assistant manager meanwhile.. from her perspective, she simply knew there were demands and embarassment with getting naked. And she knew she had her fiancee in there doing the interrogation. She was kind of in the dark though, as to why she didn't figure it out earlier. Everytime she checked the room, the fiancee threw the girl the apron and said "cover up! pleeeease". She did, maybe out of fear, stupidity, sympathy, confusion.. I don't know. Some real odd decisions made here. Throw the apron down and the fiancee will be pulled out of there. But what they did stayed hidden from the assistant manager. The caller meanwhile said he'd already talked to the main manager, and had her on the other line. The assistant manager assumed this was right, but bullshit was called upon her trying to reach her manager. When she did, the manager had been sleeping and had no clue as to anything about an interrogation. That's where the events ended apparently, and the real police came. I wonder what the last pieces of the convo with the caller were though.
What does the guy on the phone get out of it... is he watching?
From the article - "Clinical psychologist Jeff Gardere says the caller's actions were likely a way to feed a God-like complex by manipulating his victims emotionally, physically and sexually. He calls it 'virtual voyeurism.'"
EDIT: Also something weird..
