They could have, but I've heard no indication that that was done. In photos of the entryway taken after the abduction, the windows appear to be intact. And though one might think they had been fixed, one would think that later, after LE processed the crime scene, someone also would've cleaned up...

Let's push back against such unfair thinking. Perhaps people are more open to anchors with a broad variety of experiences than you think. Or maybe SG herself will want to move into a different role. JMO

It's definitely very sad. I'm curious -- what's the source for the statement that NG never checked her cameras? Also, is LE's statement here the basis for saying that people had been spending time on her property who had no reason to be there? LE also said that there was nothing suspicious in...

SBM Not that it matters, but I think those are vertical blinds. JMO

That does seem odd, but maybe they thought the dog was alerting to some sort of animal, which they hoped to videotape? Though if it was a dangerous animal, might not be a good idea to go out. Or maybe they just wanted to tape the dog itself, acting strangely... Maybe they're the sort of people...

It seems likely that he didn't know lantana is toxic. The way he went back out and grabbed it looked pretty random to me. I have lantana growing outside my apartment and until now hadn't known it's toxic. When it came up in this thread I sometimes went out and grabbed it to see if it had spikes...

What are you referring to?

I agree that he bought what he needed. As you imply, the backpack may have been intended to be thrown out with whatever evidence, such as blood, that ended up on it. That said, if he was going to throw things out, he was taking the risk that some of his DNA would be on those things too. I...

Most head lamps have different settings. You push the button once, and there's a fairly dim light. When you push it again, it cycles through a couple of other settings -- usually a brighter light, a blinking light, and sometimes a red light. But Lantana man may not have known that, or may have...

The apparent pattern may have been caused by the AI "enhancement." The camera involved is infrared, so slight differences in temperature -- or even differences that weren't really there but were a result of pixellation due to the poor resolution of that photo -- might have been amplified by AI...

Interesting theory. But by N, do you mean NG? As far as I know, the glove was found ~ 2 miles from NG's house. I think they were saying that the glove was found across the street from the restaurant, not from NG's house. ETA: Here is an article saying that the gloves were found around 2 miles...

I could easily be wrong, but I thought the porch videos were at 1:47am and that some camera -- maybe a different one -- detected motion at 2:12am. Was that ever made clear to the public? Does anyone have handy a timeline from a good source? JMO

What if NG always went into her house via the garage? If the family members dropped NG at her place the night before and if she got in via the garage, it's possible that they as well as she had (1) an opener for the garage door and (2) a key for any locked doors from the garage into the house...

Here's a thought about the blood drops. What if there were (at least) two kidnappers. (I have no idea as to motive here.) One is in the house and the other is in a vehicle that is parked nearby. The one in the house has incapacitated NG by punching her in the face, so that she has a nosebleed...

I wonder whether NG's family might be collecting some of her personal items from the house. Of course, I hope that it's something bigger than that, or that they might be doing that preparatory to a big announcement... JMO
