Stand-off over a ransom?There is yellow tape everywhere and vans of heavily armed LE

Yesanyone else hear that quite a few abductions/attempted abductions in the Memphis area of late?
I don’t think they need much help, seems like they have put the pieces together quickly and are working towards a resolution.seems like showing the public the video of her being shoved into the vehicle might help? Seems like the recent procedure in case someone can help identify the suspect? no video yet?
I guess anything is possible but I think because they found the vehicle there and a suspect there it must be treated as an active crime scene, hence the tape.Stand-off over a ransom?
Just looking at images of that apartment complex online, it looks like they are in the style of apartment homes/townhomes versus units with a common hallway. They have patios, their own washer/dryer, etc and doors from each appear to open outside.There certainly is a reason for that ongoing presence. The detained man must at the least have some connection with the abduction, even if not involved directly imo.
I hope they are doing a very thorough search....boiler room, hidden janitor closets, attics if there are such, etc. You never know. It would be wonderful if Eliza was hidden in that complex, alive. One can hope...
Yes, a computer, her white Jeep Wagoneer, a pair of hedge trimmers (aka pruning shears) and some bagged items. The first day (yesterday).Am I understanding correctly that evidence was taken from her home?
Crawl spaces ? I used to live in a townhouse....it had a crawl space and attic as well.Just looking at images of that apartment complex online, it looks like they are in the style of apartment homes/townhomes versus units with a common hallway.

Just jumping off your post.Stand-off over a ransom?
I can't remember that ever occurring in a case like this. It happens among gangs and other criminal organizations, as they know law enforcement won't be contacted.Just jumping off your post.
Outside of the Samantha Koenig case in Alaska. I honestly don't remember a case where there was a ransome demand. I think that's actually very rare in the US?
if you zoom in you can see an evidence number on it and stickerI saw a video clip of the officer picking up the shears from behind a large potted plant on a brick post on their porch stairs while carrying a brown paper evidence bag in his other hand. It struck me as a place where shears could be stashed by a homeowner who stopped mid-yard work. Is it plausible that the officer thought maybe such a thing shouldn’t be left lying around with so many people around the house and yard, and maybe it’s not actually evidence after all?
ATF will track and apprehend wanted criminals in partnership with FBI.It’s interesting to me that the vehicle involved in the crash with the GMC was a ATF vehicle. Does ATF function within LE? Would they have been assisting in the search? Or surveilling the GMC and the GMC got spooked and tried to get away? If that were the case, makes me have more hope that they were expecting to be led somewhere they’ll find Eliza alive.
I agree I bet it is not evidence per se at all, but he might have been picking up anything vaguely weapon-like in the yard. Just trying to cover all the bases.I saw a video clip of the officer picking up the shears from behind a large potted plant on a brick post on their porch stairs while carrying a brown paper evidence bag in his other hand.

Is that true, though? Do we have any MSM to verify it? Memphis has had some pretty significant crime for years, but (as is the trend in many US metro areas), property crime is up but violent crime is down.anyone else hear that quite a few abductions/attempted abductions in the Memphis area of late?
The ATF vehicle was armored. So maybe initially there was a stand off or the threat of one. He wasn't exiting his vehicle in other words.It’s interesting to me that the vehicle involved in the crash with the GMC was a ATF vehicle. Does ATF function within LE?
