Here’s what my imagination has been up to in Tucson. . . . NG’s life seems so middle class, so ordinary. Not rich enough to steal from or even kidnap. Plenty of old ladies in Santa Fe where I live would be perfect targets, but Nancy? I just don’t feel it here, driving her streets. Past the...

A personal note. We arrived in Tucson this afternoon. Our hotel is minutes from NG’s house. I wanted to share how beautiful it is now. Palo verde trees, saguaro cacti, matilija poppies, ocotillo in bloom. Quail outside our room. So many unfamiliar bird calls. It’s very green. This is the place...

My point is that NG's kidnapping and ransom do not fit a "wrench attack." But it may share a few similarities: bitcoin, home invasion, and violence. The differences are: we may assume Nancy wasn't a bitcoin mogul but don't know about her children; she was kidnapped for ransom not held...

I was curious about "wrench attacks" thanks to @SlimPickens post:Nancy Guthrie, 84, (mother of TODAY Show host Savannah Guthrie) missing - last seen in the Catalina foothills area on Jan 31, 2026. So I did a little research. "Wrench attacks" are hostage or kidnapping attacks on known wealthy...

I’m with you, Slim. This is what I believe happened. After reading about the Scottsdale attack and the Minnesota bitcoin robbery involving two men from Mexico who may have taken orders from some unknown person according to the hostages. (Hasn’t gone to trial yet) I don’t have the links but both...

My memory is failing me. Sorry. Maybe it was a teaser for the podcast. I haven’t followed closely on FB, IG, or the podcast.

Honored to be reposted and heard! Thanks, Nin!

This seems so obvious to me I'm sure it must have been stated: Intruders enter and prop the door open because the plan is to get NG up and escort her out the back way as quickly as possible. So they prop the door as they enter. In readiness. The getaway car would pick them all up at the...

I agree with your point. But to be clear, my children who were clueless about their grandmother, were in their late 30s. They didn't see what they didn't care to see. While the perpetrators may have thought they were prepared, a human being's fragility can always come as a shock, regardless...

I respectfully disagree regarding a younger person's concept of an older person. Younger people have no idea what aging entails unless they experience it firsthand. My children adored my 90 year old mother and thought she was invincible. They took her on too-long walks and expected her to...

What young man has any idea what keeps an old lady alive? Or that she would need to be treated carefully? Eye is on the prize. IMO.

A judgement from an Old Lady: listening to a million true crime podcasts, difficult crimes are more often than not solved by years of hard work, new eyes and fresh thoughts, combing through materials. We live in a world of instant gratification. And constant scrutiny of our work as we do it...

Thank you, @Curiousobserver! So in a movie I saw, the wallet was transferred to another entity or to a foreign bank with no reciprocity. There was a chain that allowed it to be fully anonymous. Is that possible? -- also I know that child porn sites on the dark web, for instance, defy all...

Will someone who understands bitcoin explain how it can be traced? My understanding is that it can be untraceable. The possibilities exist.
