I agree. It's almost like Nanos say anything he is asked about is "absolutely" possible just to keep from giving anything away. Well, I guess that much is working for him, because we know squat. LOL One of the challenges in putting together a theory of this case is not losing track of the...

My Dad had one of those policies, and he died in 1990, so that's certainly possible. I think NG only worked at the University for about 17 years, but that might be long enough to get a pension from there. From personal experience with Mom's surviving spouse situation, you can't collect both...

Hmmm I'm no an expert so I certainly can't say you're wrong but it seems kind of extreme to start with kidnapping. Of course, some people start with murder, so who knows?

This afternoon's rabbit hole: I know several of us have suggested that the kidnapper had one motive and the ransom notes were simply a distraction to LE, or an opportunist. I started really thinking about what a distraction would actually accomplish for the suspect. Yes, it would force LE to...

He also says they're getting closer, that no one is cleared, that the family was cleared before he said no one was cleared, etc. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean but he is very contradictory. MOO

Possibly. This might be someone who knows as much about bitcoin as I did before this. LOL They may have thought it was the answer to their prayers to be able to collect the ransom from afar. Depending on how much they watched reporting on NG's disappearance, they may have realized it wasn't as...

I appreciate what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. If something happens once in a million times, it's still rare even if I am the one in a million. The fact that it happened to me might change my life but not the overall statistics. IMO.

I'm sure it is moving main stream but I don't see it replacing other more mainstream investments any time soon. I know one person who took a flyer on Bitcoin. A finance person, and educated investor, but he ended up delaying his retirement for a few years because it didn't go so well.

That is more my view of Bitcoin as well. It may react similarly to the stock market most of the time, but it's more volatile than the stock market, which is saying a lot. Whew. In my view, a sizeable Bitcoin investment is not for an older person who expects to ever need that money to live on...

Yes she was, IMO. Her daughter said should could not walk more 50 yards on her own. A friend helped her walk to the mailbox. She had a pacemaker and based on pictures with lots of bruising, she may have been on blood thinners.

It depends. In real estate, timing is everything. My parents bought a fixer upper in a very good area in 1973 for $17K and sold it in 1980 for $83K. I just looked and that same house is worth $850K today. So, the payment on that house in 1973 would have been pretty low if that had been living...

He didn't give any specifics. Just that logistics made it impossible for one person to commit the crime. I would label that estimate as a WAG informed by years of experience. I notice he said UP TO, so it could have been 2 people or 5. That leaves a big margin for error, imo. :)

I looked again today and don't see it. The gist of what I read was that the note was sent on Sunday but not seen by the recipient until Monday. I hope it wasn't a mistake that has now been scrubbed. There is already so much we can't be sure of, I would hate to add more.

I agree. Also, I think the timing of the notes is critical to determining whether they are actual kidnappers or some opportunist. I tend to think they were real because, as I understand it, one of them was delivered to a tipline on Sunday but wasn't found until Monday. That's quite different...

IMO, out of the number of people who might want this specific harmless 84 year old, medically frail lady killed, how many of those people could also afford to pay over $1M to have it done? I feel like the vin diagram for that would be empty. And anyone who would want her dead, could pay that and...
