Since the Home Invasion Unit was mentioned (much of that information redacted) in the docs, some background on that may help. Here is some information from a Reuter's article from 2009 -- interestingly, dated exactly 3 years before Isabel's "disappearance." BEGIN EXCERPT: The desert city...

They shot down a strawman because that's not the scenario being postulated. "Ransom" and "ransom notes" have never been mentioned to my knowledge. Rather, this has been described as a "revenge abduction" and/or "revenge killing" as retribution for debt to the drug cartel and/or a human...

It was stated to be a hotel, not a motel. That isn't just semantic hairsplitting; there is a world of difference between the two. IMO the Celises should have been forthcoming and just revealed it. "NBC paid for our hotel room to use as a venue for the interview" would have sufficed...

Of course it's relative. However, 3802 sq. ft. is considered pretty large by most folks. $435,000 is considered expensive around Tucson, especially for a nurse and surg assist. Also, if you look at the rest of the houses on E. 12th (with the exception of the one directly across the street)...

Well stated, Frayed! That was wordparsing to be sure.

They did receive compensation from them, however. This DOES matter to people and helps mold their perception of the Celises and their intentions. That is why media addressed the issue.

You can bet that every aspect of the Celis FINANCES (and, yes, that includes the huge, expensive HOUSE that they purchased) have been gone over with a fine-toothed comb by LE. I am confident that LE has done a thorough job in that department. JMO.

So glad that you agree with me that the date is moot. :) As for it being "old," I wasn't even following this case 20 days ago and seriously doubt that every single poster -- or the 18 guests currently online -- were either OR that they've read every post in this thread and the 18 Celis...

The POINT is that NBC had paid for their hotel lodging, so they received remuneration from the network even *IF* they had not received direct payment for the interview. The date is moot.

Thanks, WR, I had not seen that one. The only one I saw was the very shortened version of EC's statement. I stand corrected. Frankly, I find that bizarre. SC believed that someone had broken into his home and "kidnapped" his 6 YO, so he sends his 8 YO (by himself) out to search for her...

"Because of security concerns and concerns for the privacy of Rebecca and Sergio Celis, KGUN9 News has agreed to withhold the location where the press conference took place. KGUN9 News has confirmed, however, that NBC News has been paying for the Celis family to stay at the hotel. During the...

That was the elder son. The younger son was never sent out to look for her that I am aware of.

It was the elder son, not the younger. He helped his mother hold up a sign. This was reported by local media, and I'm off to search for that link.

Experience has shown me time and time again a couple of things: First is that sex/love, drugs, and/or money are usually at the root of these cases. The house, its size and COST certainly are germaine to the Celises' financial picture. If that info bores you, then maybe you should skip over...

The square footage for the 5601 E. Cooper St. home is not as high (or at least not listed as high) as the Celis home, which could account for the lower valuation.
