Sorry to ruffle feathers, that is not my intent. I am standing up for Nancy Guthrie and the Guthrie family. The reality is that in a in a democracy We The People are responsible for their leaders. That is where the buck stops. With us, the people. I believe this with all my heart. My...

FBI is remiss if it does not run these RNs by a forensic linguist. 1. To take a look at the AI possibility. 2. Also I think the RNs have a number of oddities from the brief bits I have read. Things do not add up. If the FBI can afford 400 agents working on this case, maybe they can spring...

It's all fun and games, politics, fighting over money, power, ego. People being fired or quitting, lots of office drama, grandstanding, etc. Brain drain and lack of expertise. Then we see a grandmother fighting for her life where every hour matters. Needing all LE hands on deck, every ounce...

Have you heard of forensic linguists? They use their knowledge of linguistics and language to examine written and spoken evidence for criminal cases. They were used for the first time by the FBI in 1996 case of Theodore Kaczynski, the unibomber. I assume that the FBI used linguists to analyze...

I agree, they knew layout of the home, inside and out. It was all too efficient and quickly done for it to be a novel exposure. I also have thought it quite likely that some sort of hired help, sub contractors, repairmen, while at the home learned that NG was the mother of a rich celebrity...

It is almost certain that an intoxicated male adolescent will leave evidence at the crime scene and/or make other mistakes, when committing his first kidnapping /murder. 1. Males do not have a fully formed frontal lobe until their mid- late 20's, specifically the prefrontal cortex (responsible...

Exactly. The RN caused LE to immediately scatter far and wide looking for a kidnapper. They never even searched the house or gathered much in the way of crime scene evidence. And LE allowed friends and family to gather immediately at the crime scene, where some of the friends actually started...

Even if a RN was found, protocol procedure should be followed with a search in the nearby area.

I think anything found after the fact, after the crime scene investigation, is suspect.

I would love to hear what a forensic linguist has to say. And yes if we can see the notes, we can begin to get clues as to the personalty, educational level, intellectual level of the author. Also a ransom note can be used as crime scene staging, giving a false narrative, misleading and...

I agree, the ransom note is quite odd. Kidnapping is a business crime, not personal. Yet this note is oddly personal. Personal first name address, apologizing, the religious and somewhat old fashioned expressionism. Making excuses for the death, not really their fault, almost an accident...

Could also be a narcissistic attention seeker?

If we could read the ransom notes ourselves, it would give us a look at the personality of the author.

Some criminals like to insert themselves into the crime scene and investigation. They may hope to get some inside info, steer police in a different direction, or they get a thrill from the risk taking aspect of it.

-The thought of life in prison or death penalty may deter some. -Getting a big pay day from a ransom is not certain. -Holding a captive is a dicey business for more than one reason. This type of crime is high risk, with serious consequences, and lots of work to it. And perhaps no payout at...
