Sounds like the father is the DoorDash driver and son possibly works for fed ex? I think the younger was detained?

I dont think so. Door Dash doesn't let drivers who have been convicted of SA drive for them.

The father of the son thats home is being searched. His MIL gave his name, which happens to be his father's name.

Do they all live there together?

 

[browneyes]

Recently evicted from home...where did I miss that news?

It’s in the MIL’s interview posted upthread.

I think the MIL said they were evicted, so moved in with her

I pulled up a pic. If who I understand to be the detainee and the detainees Father is correct ! I would not rule out either as being the ‘person seen at NG door”.

I'm inclined to think this guy they have detained is a money mule. I do a lot of scambaiting and everything about this guy fits the profile of a money mule.

A money mule is someone who receives and forwards payments on behalf of the real criminals. Most have been duped and are unaware of the underlying crime/scam. I'm not suggesting they are innocent but they typically have no knopwledge of the actual crime or criminals. They just know what bank account they were to send to when something came into their account. There can be dozens of accounts around the world linked through mules before the real criminal. Knowing the first one is a start of course but a typical mule is only used once or twice to avoid being able to identify patterns.

I think today's video is a huge step forward but I have a hard time getting excited about the questioning.

 

[Fargo]

Can you say what the arrest was for? Is he a sex offender?

Let's just say he and Epstein would be the best of friends. IMO

Seems bizarre to me that it's still out on the side of the road. Don't they usually tow cars somewhere to process them for evidence? Or, if they don't have the right to search the car, at least tow it to the impound lot?

Something I noticed.....when Brian showed her the photos, she was pretty immediate in saying that's not him. Here we are trying to figure out his features under his layers of masks, and she immediately does not recognize him?

Could be that her SIL is VERY different, his weight, his eye appearance...I dunno.

I dont think so. Door Dash doesn't let drivers who have been convicted of SA drive for them.

yeah i think she was just saying he works m-f in tucson, az for fedex/ups something about delivering packages.

and he was just doing doordash in rio rico probably as a side hustle.

dont think she was saying anything about his father, ha.

all that being said, not sold on this being the guy. guess we shall see though.

That’s horrifying. What is wrong with these people.

I tend to agree. I think if he was a really POI with regard to the capturing of NG, they would be sweeping the hills/mountains behind his road right now. I doubt he brought HG to his wife's parents' home and hid her there...

If his MIL didn't know who NG was (which... I still don't TOTALLY believe. I know they may not be glued to the Today Show, but Tucson is less than an hour from there), maybe this individual wasn't super privy to it either? Obviously if he participated in any way that's awful and he should be arrested and convicted. I'm just doubtful he's going to lead us to NG tonight :/

Some motive right there.

It has been speculated that Dad was the Uber driver --- nothing was said about MIL interview. IMHO Dad couldn't be the Uber driver because of his criminal history unless Uber dropped the ball BIG TIME.

 

[cady]

Forgive my confusion. Is the person detained the interviewed woman's son in law? Didn't she say that they slapped handcuffs on her son? So, is her son detained, as well? Son in law was stopped in his car. So, where is her son?

 

[allboys]

It looked like an amazon vest. But that guy was much younger.

Younger than whom? The detained subject? Do we have an age for him?

 

[Arkay]

The person whose name I believe I heard the MIL state does look in pix like it could be the guy at NG’s door, possibly. Just possibly.

That said, the MIL seemed completely baffled and probably knows little about this case, based on the questions asked of her by BE.

But she certainly WOULD know if an old Tucson woman who’s a stranger to her was suddenly being kept in her home.

I didn’t get the impression that she knew about it and was trying to hide it.

Could be right, could be wrong. JMO.

Come home, Nancy!!!!!!!!!

The lady interviewed said the detained was her SIL. No actual confirmation, but she says it in interviews. IMHO there is more than one son who lives there. But that is speculation.

 

[moonglow123]

Well, the video footage we saw certainly wasn't indicative of a criminal mastermind. Trying to cover up a camera with weeds and putting his face up to it quizzically. Approaching the front door hoping it would be unlocked.

If it was this guy, he does seem to fit the bill of desperate and inexperienced ...

But yeah, we will need to see a photo of him released by LE to see how it compares to the guy at the door.

Just devastating there's no actual news on Nancy
