Source: "The Daily Beast on Wednesday published a report from Kyiv about the disappearance by Anna Nemtsova, a Russian journalist whom Lees Muñoz described as a friend and colleague of Roshchyna’s. “I think it’s time to raise hell and publish,” Nemtsova told Lees Muñoz. “At least if she’s in the basement, they’ll stop torturing her.”"Pietsch, Bryan (2023-10-23).

Comment: ~~The Daily Beast can be opiniated, and tends towards sensationalist presentation, but its facts seem good here.~~Found a VoA source to corroborate the car shooting, and it went into more detail anyway. In Alt3, "in the basement" is an apparent reference to the Russian government. If somebody else reads it and agrees with me that I'm not misreading the WaPo article, I'd be happy to amend the article/hook.
