Yes. My assessment of the sheriff is that he used hyperbole a lot. I think he also talks in “casual mode” quite a bit, wherein he might say that a person is”cleared”, when formally they really aren’t cleared. They just aren’t looking at them right now. It’s confusing and, I agree, in this case...

My interpretation is that the backpack was a “new” release from Walmart, but I may be mistaken. (Meaning that version hadn’t been out long.)

Not sure I understand, but I think you're asking about my question mark. Upthread, posters were implying that the location that was searched with the sniffer was close to the original SWAT operation. If they didn't find anything, though, does it still indicate anything about that original SWAT...

Okay. I'm still not understanding. The OP seemed to narrow down the possible choppers being used for the sniffer to only those counties who had their own choppers. Couldn't a county who didn't have their own borrow another county's chopper to use with the sniffer? Please excuse me and just move...

But, apparently, they found nothing. ?

I'm not understanding. Couldn't Santa Cruz or Graham used another county's chopper for the search?

Just starting to watch the LD interview and it’s already a disaster. He thinks the video doesn’t look like him!! Yikes. We’ll see how it goes but so far, not good. What was he thinking!

I agree with this and I just think that it's "too much". I think it would be really, really rare to find this kind of planning although, of course, it's possible.

$ Never in a million years would I think that my elderly mother had been kidnapped. I'd also be looking around the house, at the neighbor's, calling her friends maybe, etc. When all those things had been exhausted, the panic would slowly creep in. If then I noticed the drops of blood, yeah...

I agree. There’s something familiar about the way he moves. And that belt buckle touch!! Now where have I seen that before?? The big difference is that this guy is walking quickly in the courthouse video, whereas porch-guy moves much slower. Wonder what his usual gait is?

Yeah, you and me both, Katy!

I don't think we've ever seen a list of her current medications, but many patients on pacemakers are on blood thinners. So, good catch. Maybe that minimizes the possibility of a big, violent incident. EBM: Sorry folks. Hard time keeping up with thread. I'll read to the end before I post next time!

Yes, I thought it was quite a significant amount of blood also. Looking at the pattern of blood spots, I'm sure that there is also some on the mat. Then, there was some apparently on the walk all the way to the car, although from what has been posted here (I haven't seen it) the number of blood...

I missed the part about driving by 50-100 times. Can you let me know where that came from? TIA!

There’s SO much risk, though, in taking someone out of their home. I just think it’s much more likely they’d break in and bonk her over the head. In and out. No messy dealing with a dead body (or a live person) that you just have to find a place to hide.
