3 Supermutants and a Settler are talking a walk

[The Konrad]

What sounds like the beginning of a lousy joke actually happened to me close to Abernathy Farm.

When I killed the Mutis the settler ran away to Sancturay hills. BUT it wasn't one of my veterans from one of my nearby settlements I already dressed them differently to recognize them.

While catching up and talking to her she had nothing to say.
"Huh" and all the other generic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Did I just foil a kidnapping attempt?
Did you have a similar experience?

I have found the same "random encounter?" just down the hill from Tenpines Bluff. Three aggressive (red name tags) Super Mutants and a single friendly (green name tag) Settler. As soon as combat is (edit) completed between me and the muties the settler darts off with infinite sprint. I'm not sure if they head to one of my settlements though.

She moved to my place at Sanctuary, maybe becoming a new settler, but I didn't see her for long, though. (Or maybe she switched clothes herself)

I had an incident where a settler gave me one the those stupid kidnap quest and for no apparent reason, I haven't order her to move and there was no direct supply rout, she went to became a castle settler.

[The Konrad]

I sometimes have settlers kidnapped complaining about kidnappings of settlers of different settlements.

That sounds more complicated that it is, so here is an example.

I rescued a settler for Sanctuary, but the kidnapped settler actually lived in The Slog. (I knew because it was the ghoul doctor I appointed/outfitted personally)

I think this is due to the fact that the aforementioned ghoul doctor was a settler of Sanctuary once, had some bonding-friendship experience there and was relocated by his master (ME!) to the Ghoul internment camp at the Slog.

If your still playing fallout 4
After you kill the super mutant
Go to the settler and go on sneak mode
It will prompt a option saying "release prisoner"
Then you can stand up and talk to the settler
You can now recruit the rescued settler

Why not?
Fallout 4 is still better than 76 and deserves to be played...
But then again, it seems that nothing will ever come close to New Vegas

Mate, look at my hours for the game. Saying that I hate Fallout 4 is a joke. Plus I don't even play Fallout 76, so I have no idea why you'd bring that up really.

No, it is a random encounter.

Kidnapping radiant quests are completely separate.

Every once in a GREAT while (like 1 in 10 of these encounters) the super mutant settler prisoner can actually be rescued and recruited. You will know the difference because you will be given a weird menu window with an option to arm the prisoner.
