Hey guys, new to adventure mode here.  My companion casually mentioned that his daughter (Thepa) was kidnapped several years ago, and thinks she's in Seducedplane, a series of Dark Pits.  So I was all like, yeah! let's go rescue that chick!  So we stormed in and killed some goblins, while asking them where is Thepa, and they were all like, I don't know any Thepa, so we killed them harder.  Then we wandered around the lower levels opening random doors, but they are mostly empty and the few non-goblins we find are all like "I don't know any Thepa", "This is Seducedplane, I don't know where to look".  This was fun a couple hundred doors ago, but I'm getting bored with it now. 

1( All of these non-goblins are like, man, life sucks, but I don't see any option that says, hey, come with me, we'll get the eff outta here.  I'm worried that if I ever do find Thepa, she'll be the same way. 

2( A lot of the non-goblins also have goblin names, so I'm thinking they might not be kidnappees, but natural born citizens.  Would kidnappees like Thepa be kept in some specific place I should be looking for? 

3( How do I manipulate hatches?  I got into one of the goblin towers, apparently by accident, but then got stuck in it for a while and couldn't get out until at random it seems I fell through the floor.  Is there something I can do to get through hatches?

The hatches can be tricky if you've never dealt with them before. You have to use Alt+direction of lower staircase and choose to walk to the lower staircase instead of over top the hatch. To find her, you might want to try creating a backup save and looking for her in legends (getting kidnapped usually makes an npc a historical figure). You could always claim the site and tell the people as their lord to follow you, but that isn't 100% guaranteed for success.

Seven years is a long time, it's possible that she grew to adulthood (13) and became a full fledged citizen of the goblin civ and moved somewhere else, was kidnapped by another goblin civ, or died. In the worlds of dwarf fortress life can be cruel and short.

That is quite common. People who get kidnapped usually get kidnapped multiple times throughout their lives.

Keep killing them until they know where she is.

This is a logical course of action.
