They're right, "Titles come from the story". But, I wrote a kidnap story too, and I know it can be frustrating to think of a title that fits just right. So here's some examples to get you started.
1) Vanished
2) Unseen
3) Into thin air
4)Abducted (or Abduction)
The problem with giving someone else a title is that then the title doesn't match what they wrote at all!! Or they think they have to change their story to match the title, which doesn't work.
The key to making an effective and impactful title for an abduction story is to worry about the actual story first. Seriously, get to work on the characters, plot, twists, and key moments. If there's a metaphor, you'd like to include in your title that ends up in the story, pop it in. If you want to name it after a character in the story, do that. Or maybe you'd like to call it something simpler like "Gone" or "Missing" or something along those lines.
Go with your gut. There's no such thing as a bad title in my opinion, so long as you put some thought into it.
